Although it finds a way of ruining things later in the run. However I’m not placing much credence in that as things seems to be improving in the medium term across the models which will affect the later evolution.
I had them on ignore for about 3 years. Took them off because I thought they might have changed and like giving people a second chance. Seems I was wrong!
A bit? Total cloud cover in London now which wasn’t meant to happen. Yet another forecasting bust. The daily forecasts have been atrocious over the past few weeks.
GFS 18z is a bore fest. Cool and cloudy westerly winds for days on end while the Azores HP sits out west. What a waste!
All those who wished for a pattern change would be getting more crud, this time from the west.
That’s probably the most glass half empty view you could take on the 12z runs! It’s unlikely that the temps will be below the low 20s even in the unsettled spell.
It’s annoyingly that the Azores high never quite ridges far enough east to give the UK a really cracking summer spell. A nice summer spell but no heatwave.
Poor runs this morning. Worrying that ECM has turned out two very poor runs in a row now. Ok it’s not quite as bad as last night, it’s still a rotten run for summer fans.
