spot on Sir,just looked at the ECM esemble and at day 10 the high looks like its losing its influence..but like you say is it correct?.....and 10 days away is miles,if it all goes pete tong then i(like many) for one wont grumble,this spell has been fantastic and lots more to come before a change if there is one....edit...(in the next couple of weeks)

2 and 1/2 years?....7 years ive waited for anything remotely akin to a decent summer...chuffed for you Summersun,ive read your posts and enjoy them....sit back relax and love every minute! cracking charts best summer in my book since my son was born in 2007 sorry off topic..

Drought!....the last time that was mentioned didnt it rain for 40 weeks and then some.....

After reading some of your posts(couple of weeks prior to this wonderful spell SPELL of summer weather(a touch IMBY i admit but its widespread compared to the last 7 chocolate efforts) id say your instinct has been very good...and i like many hope your RIGHT,probably like many hope your wrong but hey ho cant please everyone! Snowking posted an excellent explanation of these... http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ECMWF_12z/test8.gif http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ECMWF_0z/test8.gif and they look good to me.....ECM better of the two?

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/MT8_London_ens.png drought minister anyone? its been pretty dry here in the south wales valleys Panayiotis them ensembles look like its going to stay that way too....

Thankyou very much Snowking ...

Thankyou John

Thanks John il leave you in peace now but i will pm you tomorrow to try to understand better,thanks for your time it seems i have been miss reading these completely

10/10 for the first 10 days here in south wales,perfect weather loved every minute of it,didnt even want to go to sleep...the next 19 have been ok ish,im not complaining at all after the run of summers we have had..but overall id give it a 7/10 looks like july could start along the same lines and hopefully continue for the whole month..and yes im being greedy

Hi John,quick question for you,on these charts, http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ECMWF_12z/test8.gif am i correct in thinking red=higher pressure,blue=lower...or is not as simple as that?,ive tried researching but so far not getting much luck?...

Summer Sun,John Holmes is your man ref to the charts i posted....i dont pretend to be an expert on these charts,but from what i can see from them..they appear to be positive for us in good old blighty im going to do some research on them to learn some more... having done some research,im still none the wiser ref red=high pressure,blue=low...il leave it in the capable hands of John Holmes ......they are anomalies so im assuming high and low?..looking at them last summer all i ever saw was blue over us most of the time

your far from dumb Summer Sun...turn your head left so your touching your left shoulder with your ear,or 2oclock like Polar Maritime says....

Makes a nice change to see this.... http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ECMWF_12z/test8.gif pretty sure its been mentioned before not sure if these are updated over the weekend??,il post them anyway.... http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/610day.03.gif http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814day.03.gif maybe this year we will get a half decent summer,tbh so far this June im well happy with whats been offered,the first 10 days (here in south wales) were perfect,and it has not been too bad at all the last 19 days

Tamara..your posts and posts by a few others are never ignored by me(and many)i admire your input,very similar to Bluearmy's input makes alot of sense lets hope that people get what they want and others well...get what they want,its a good site this meanwhile.. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/610day.03.gif http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814day.03.gif @John Holmes....thats 3 days now ive been looking....looks pretty good Sir??

Point taken John and sound advice sorry for off topic post.....

http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/610day.03.gif Not looking too shabby,im no expert on these things...any thoughts anyone?? http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814day.03.gif http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ECMWF_12z/test8.gif .........Nice plenty of agreement there i would say.........

agree with you Shedhead ref significantly better than this time last year,after reading Anyweathers post with attatched fax charts i can see where that METO update came from...hopefully we can dodge any of the showers here these dont too bad? http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ECMWF_0z/test8.gif

1976 style summers it is then for the next 10 years........

hope your right Frosty039....after reading this from the METO site Rather cloudy, with occasional light showers, but some lengthier dry spells too. Winds will generally be light, with near-normal temperatures. Perhaps becoming more generally cloudy with some rain later Thursday. thats the day 3-5 update for wales..

looks like agreement from these for something not too bad http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ECMWF_0z/test8.gif http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/610day.03.gif

with some support from these too...... http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ECMWF_12z/test8.gif

many thanks John....

Hi John,ive been keeping an eye on the 500mb charts you mention often i was just wondering if you knew what time they are normally updated? http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ECMWF_12z/test8.gif http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814day.03.gif sorry for going off topic

Excellent post that sir,(AWD)a little dank but well explained and easy for all us dime bars trying to suss out the good old british weather..cheers for the work that went into that

I thought we talked about UK weather as a whole not orange country...but hold that the south east is closer to holland..... maybe the sheep will get a rest from the old brollies for a change out west...
