Summer Sun

Warmer and dry Most rain in north http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-app/reports?LANG=en&MENU=weekahead&DAY=20120903

There was a low showing up late last year it was around 940mb at the start of it come the day it was showing to arrive it ended up crossing northern europe and only the far south caught the edge of it

Wetterzentral is stuck at 48h http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsecmeur.html

ECM is very late tonight only at 48h

Settled and warm this week FI is interesting however for storm fans

Yep a warm southwesterly flow If I'm looking at that correctly, yes it will often be cloudy and or wet but temperatures would certainly be anything but cold but before that next week is certainly looking like a decent one for many at some point

ECM looks lovely again tonight it will feel very pleasant in the sun mid 20s is possible for the south with high teens low 20's further north I would think

Wasn't December 2010 also the snowiest on record?

shedhead's thought's over the past few day's are now becoming clear in the models, the basic pattern at the moment is for high pressure to dominate for at least the first half of September with above average temperatures and very little rain away from the north

Lovely outlook there a high pressure dominated winter hopefully this is the case a repeat of 2010 / 2011 is most unwelcome

Monday is looking like a lovely summer's day with plenty of warm sunshine around As the week goes on high pressure continues to keep things dry and settled for most of England and wales, Scotland looks prone to rain at times As we go further into FI high pressure continues to keep things mainly settled at dry apart from the spell of light rain here and there Its not until deep FI that there is anything unsettled and stormy So a good run from GFS tonight with ample high pressure around with Monday looking like the pick of the lot

Warmer and drier Most rain in north http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-app/reports?LANG=en&MENU=weekahead&DAY=20120831

Weather.com is fairly good http://uk.weather.com/ The beeb's weather is not to bad either they don't cover all the European destinations though like weather.com do

Thanks GIBBY some lovely weather coming up then after the wettest summer in 100 years I wonder what the odds are on the driest Autumn in ... years The one good thing is the days are more than long enough to enjoy the sun and warmth

The storm showing for around the 11th september has been removed from the 12z 06z 12z

Well out in FI but if it came off it would be the first storm of Autumn
