Looking at the modelling (including the longer range, seasonal stuff), I'm still of the opinion I was 2 months ago- that this will be a significant drought year. Nothing seems to have changed substantially for months and months in the grander picture. We're seeing any HLB over our side of the hemisphere struggling to maintain any foothold- mostly sinking and being reinforced by the Azores HP.

GFS illustrates this below-

Thus we end up with the jet ploughing merrily away far to the N of us.

Here's the CFS averaged pressure anomaly chart for June...It has shown little fluctuation in months. Moreover, there's not one month between now and October that shows a below average SLP return.

We'll do well to even see any storms out of that.

Not sure how we break out of this entrenched general pattern. I don't particularly fancy seeing scorched earth for several months like last year. So depressing after a while.

most people seem to be hankering after hot sunny weather, when what's needed is an extended period of wet weather.

Nice one! Always daunting to do that so congrats for being brave. I still know very, very little but I like giving it a try. The 00z is lovely tbh. Just beautiful seeing the cold flood west.

Didn't the ecm show an easterly on yesterdays 00z?
