Is the "disagree" icon supposed to be a question mark?

Really frustrated about tomorrows forecast. Been keeping a close eye on Sunday all week. The rain band was meant to be in the south at first, then across Scotland, and only in the last day have they said it’s coming through Yorkshire and the north. It just goes to show how hard the path of these rain bands is to forecast.

I have an interest in Sunday’s weather due to an event taking place in North Yorkshire. Yesterday’s forecast showed the rain mainly across the south:
Today’s forecast shows the rain a lot further north:
The Met Office shows the main band of rain further north still, with showers elsewhere.
So frustrating….-

I don't understand what pleasure anyone takes watching the models in periods like this- apart from those people who enjoy wishing summer away (I know a few do).
It's monotonous, depressing and there is absolutely nothing of interest- the worst possible setup. It's pointless even looking.
If it's September by that point it won't matter, as it simply isn't the same- doesn't feel like summer even if it's hot.
Well I’m not a fan of hot weather, but yesterday was ridiculous - it was like October, and that I do not like.
Dry and pleasant would be great, but I’m not sure even that’s on the table at the minute. At least the water companies will be happy that the reservoirs are being topped up.

Think that's a bit of an exaggeration today- very dull yes but I went out in long sleeves this afternoon and was surprised by how warm it felt.
Indeed - I'm enjoying the current set up.... very useable weather, warm in the sunshine, rain to help the reservoirs, farmers, plants and wildlife. As regards the models, the omega block continues to persist, but I've noticed this little feature on a couple of recent runs - maybe this will shake things up a bit and get us out of this impasse.

I seem to recall these Omega Blocks do take some shifting. What should we be looking for to bring this impasse to an end?

Our luck's going to run out eventually but I'm determined to make the most of this weather while it lasts. I'll do some weeding in the back garden later and probabl give the front lawn a trim too. Get some work done while the weather's useable.
Indeed, there’s 2 months of summer left and we’re bound to have a warm/hot spell at some point. To be honest the main problem with me has been hayfever, and the cooler damp weather we have now keeps the pollen low. I guess I won’t mind warmer weather so much once the grass pollen season has passed

Another good set of runs this morning for those of us who don't like it hot

Just wanted to say that in Wakefield yesterday it was bone dry. I expected the front to go through but we must have been right at the tail end and we had no rain at all.

Must be the summer equivilant of The mo dern winter
GFS looks unsettled again this m orning, seemingly having the same low parked north of, or over the UK from next weekend for days on end.
Indeed, another great run if you don't like heat and humidity, so should feel fresher for most - yesterday evening onwards was a great relief.
However with the trough staying to the west, there is always the risk(?) of winds being drawn up from the south.

Still dry in Wakefield, no rain yet, but the temperature is dropping sharply, down 6°C in the last hour.

Hey everyone not posted here much but i can’t take this heat anymore
I’m literally praying for Summer to end so we can be cold again! When it’s hot there’s no air in my house upstairs it’s like sleeping inside an oven! How is this nice!? When it’s cold you can whack on a duvet a jumper a onesie! When it’s hot what can you do!? Other then spend £10 a day running fans and air conditioners so you don’t feel like you’re dying! I just don’t understand why anyone enjoys this!?
anyways our time will come like they keep saying and i for one can’t wait till it’s freezing cold and im able to sleep once again!
I’m in Wakefield too - awful last couple of days. Bring on the fresher weather and rain. It can’t come soon enough.

HEALTH ALERT - Do not look at the this mornings GFS, it’s the worst output we’ve seen so far. If this comes off I might need some counselling.
No ridge early next week, and temps really really struggling under multiple fronts.
It doesn’t get any better, full on Atlantic storm blasting in later on in the run
Indeed......... whilst I personally don't like HOT weather, I'd be more than up for it being WARM and PLEASANT, however next weeks looks distinctly AUTUMNAL!

Hay fever through the roof at the moment. Can't stop sneezing. Wish this wretched season would go to hell
Funnily enough mine has been ok since Sunday. First 2 weeks in June this year were as bad as it ever has been for me though. Should be ok next week though in the rain.

My hayfever the worst of the season so far - didn't sleep well and have felt tired all day.
Hopefully this is the worst - I'm not really seeing any strong heat on the models tonight - the 20c 850 stays down over the Med and Iberia. Warm yes, perhaps very warm briefly early next week but nothing to panic about too much yet.
I’ve enjoyed the last couple of days as the pollen has been suppressed and my hayfever has been pretty good overall. Might be a different story from Thu to Sun, but the cooler and wet weather next week should keep pollen low. Don’t mind it warming up a bit once the grass pollen season has passed, but no more than 24/25°C will do nicely!

I feel there's a lot of straw clutching from some in the Model Output Discussion about hot weather, when the last few model outputs are going for a damp and cooler spell

Don't mind it being warm, but don't like it being hot.
No one really needs it any warmer than 25C suerly - any hotter and you can't really do anything other than sit around.
In other news, hayfever is really kicking off for me now, so personally I am wishing away the next 6 weeks until the grass pollen subsides at the end of July. Hope the last week in July arrives quickly!!

4 months of model watching, and right in the middle of the Amber zone and this is what I’ve got! You couldn’t make it up. Not convinced we’ll get much more tonight either.

Wakefield here - just snow on grass verges. Roads and pavements completely clear as of 12:05pm

Light snow in Wakefield. Garden weather station showing 0.0C. Not settling on roads/pavements as it stands. See what happens later....!

Where? No location in your profile.

So today I’m travelling from Wakefield to Kings across, and then I have to get to East London on the Tube. I’m there all day and getting the train back up north at 6pm. What a day to go to London. I’m sure there will be delays at some point.
-
For us Yorkshire folk, what do we make of this? Seems to be mainly rain south of the M62 corridor on Thursday. I'm in Wakefield and based on this animation it would seem to be all just rain on Thu/Fri?

He's been waiting for snow all winter and Northwestsnow is conspicuous by his absence?!?!?!?

Been a pleasant summer overall so far - June was too hot, and since then we've had some rain to put up with, but on the whole it's been alright as far as I'm concerned. Plenty of useable weather, whereas if it was baking hot I'd be doing nothing but sat down doing nothing because of the heat.
