Back to tonights 12z runs.....the UKMO 144 is a shocker for July! Dartboard low plonked right on top of the UK. Expect plenty of rain there to go with the other systm moving in Friday-Saturday. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/wz/pics/Rukm1441.gif I think we can write the rest of July off now as a bit of a disaster. A fair amount of rain, wind and temps around or slightly below average. Disappointing considering how hot the beginning was, and how hot a fair portion of western Europe has been this summer. So near yet so far. We now turn our attention to the beginning of August for our next hope, as others have said. Signals showing a drop in heights over Greenland, as well as different, shifting patterns globally which should help break this cycle to something a bit more settled and summery. Keep your eyes peeled!
