I see after many weeks the Met Office have finally ditched the predicted cold spell and sounds like average weather to see out the remainder of Feb.

Now looking like a one day cold snap for most of the country on Thursday with rain and snow for some, the far south may not even turn cold until next week now.

Very little winter cheer on the models this morning, rain/snow on Thursday before a chilly high moves in next week, might even be the odd frost if we’re lucky!!

Yesterday temperatures were looking like 4 and 5 degrees for the end of next week, now into double figures for the same time period…..

Looks promising for the North moving forward, less so for the midlands and south, double digits temps for the foreseeable.

The mild charts always come off as the Atlantic is our default weather pattern!

I don’t know why people suddenly think this rain/snow on Tuesday/Wednesday is suddenly going to jump 100 miles north?! It’s now 48 hours away and the models have pretty much cross model agreement that it’s going to cause very little impact to the UK, wishful thinking from a few on this site.

Met office warnings now out until Thursday and none for the south so they see no risk of snow down here.

Still looking like a cold and snowless spell for most people in the week ahead, but look at the temperatures starting to show for next week! Would feel “spring like” in any sunshine and no sign of the wintery weather returning soon.

This is the model watching thread not make up your own forecast!

Yes good point!

Well the models have firmed up on a cold week but by this this time next week some parts of the south could be into double digits. Snow chances look at a premium, but maybe a few surprises down the road. As always looking at models 10 days in advance has proven fruitless.

I think you are seeing what you want to see, no widespread snow on the charts.

So the models this morning have disposed of any significant snowfall next week as the midweek low resides somewhere over the middle of France. The Atlantic awakens next weekend so will be a short lived fairly standard wintery week for most if the latest models are to be believed.
