Looks encouraging http://wxmaps.org/pix/temp4.html

The truth is no one here, especially myself, have called it correct over the past couple of weeks, or even the past couple of months.The models have tempted us with Summer only to snatch it away at the last moment. My gut feeling from watching the models, and from reading the mainstream forecasts is that things will get better during June , and hopefully a lot better than May. .

Thanks.

Yes, for the first week.

O dear, rain for week two. http://wxmaps.org/pix/prec4.html

Frosty, we will get there, sooner or a little bit later.

Interesting update from the Met today, they are still bullish on the medium term for dry and warm weather.

It's not that bad once we get this bloody awful Monday behind us, high pressure will dominate but just normal temps. especially to begin with.

I don't think we should get too depressed about the output this am, the models have been really struggling with the position of the High for some time. I hope Tamara will keep us updated on the road to Summer.

Dramatic changes do happen as we move into Summer and the continent heats up, looks like we have conditions for the "perfect storm".

With high pressure becoming established to give northern and especially northern western parts a well overdue spell of summer-like weather with deep blues skies and a lot of wall to wall sunshine close to the High pressure, a cut-off low aspect to the S & SW looks set to play its own role in the other high temperature summer weather variant, taking on a typically tropical aspect for southern and south western UK - as thundery activity ebbs and flows, as it moves up from Biscay and continental Europe periodically Music to my ears

Tamara, superb, as usual.

The models are really struggling to pin down the position of the High, where pressure falls in the heat we are likely to get thunder storms, maybe that explains the wet forecasts.

Exactly.

More damn rain. http://wxmaps.org/pix/prec4.html

It is hard to see these predicted temps. materialise. 30c plus in early June?

Thanks, that was the last really hot spell here.

Can someone please post a chart for 10 July 2013

Some very heavy rain. http://wxmaps.org/pix/prec4.html

Our weather will undergo a significant change next week, a move that will take us,( here in the North West) from Winter straight into Summer, the models seem to be arguing on the finer details but June looks very good indeed, especially in the Northwest.

Still some uncertainty exactly how things will pan out next week, the position of the high will dictate temps., it may take time to build some real heat.

Just having a bit of fun, Boss. Yes, some real misery to come to round off a terrible May.

ken Ring is the man they need to approach!

It fascinating how the weather impacts the lives of so many, farmers and hoteliers especially.
