I have been dying to say this for a while but has the hunt for cold gone cold?
Would be interesting to see what the clusters indicate in the EPS - I guess the *trend* is towards lower heights across Greenland than previously advertised. Let's see...
Probably O/T but it is pertinent to remember that positive or negative anomalies do not necessarily translate to High and Low Pressure. It is an anomaly from the mean climatological pressure - so higher than normal pressure to the north does not necessarily mean an area of high pressure there but rather a reduction of the usual westerly flow. Only when anomalies are significant can we be confident of making assertions one way or the other
After today's ghastly rain, looks like being fine and dry for at least 10 days with temperatures probably averaging at close to average. Let's hope for a dry, fine and warm October!
9.3C and rain here.
Yes, limited support from the other NWP this evening (UKMO and ICON following this morning's ECMWF with a much shallower system affecting southern parts).
So back to coolish Atlantic driven gunk then?
Nah, the summer was amazing. There will be a few (odd) people like you who didn't appreciate the summer but the vast majority I know loved it!
