I don’t recall a major issue with trees after summer 95. And I would hasten a guess that the ground around the tree roots is nowhere near as dry as in 76 as there was a long run of dry months preceding it along with a dry hot summer in 1975.
If that run isn't a warm outlier, I'll fall of my chair.
35C at midday on a GFS chart? And to think that GFS undercooks . . .
Incidentally, what was the midday temp In London on 10/8/03?
I have never seen GFS raw temps that high on an op run within that range in my 15 years of model watching. Unlikely to happen and probably a warm outlier, but the potential is certainly there next week for some very high temps.
You will always get a bit of intra run variation. Very small changes to the LP position will have big impacts further down.
12z looks very good though.
Yet another poor cloud forecast for today. Why are they so bad at it?
The map t for 8am showed most of England under clear skies. Do they not actually look out of their windows?
I’m just really curious to see if the models back the trough south and west as some have been suggesting.
The breakdown has never been in the reliable Day 10 charts don’t have much more chance of verifying than day 100 charts. Plume or dartboard low!
Myself probably! But it was CreweCold who mentioned the word!
Don’t think ECM will be key tonight. If the 00z runs are unsettled then maybe something is afoot!
If the school holidays are ruined by crap weather, I will complain trust me. We don’t work on a credit system. Regardless of the past 3 months, I want a hot dry August. The ‘need rain’ thing is grossly exaggerated.
