In Absence of True Seasons thing is, the models weren’t fully backing that up. Some showed it fine and settled, others didn’t, hence it always being iffy. So far there seems to be a lot of model consensus on next week becoming high pressure dominated. Hopefully that continues! Also, never take any app forecast seriously beyond a few days.

When was it ever really showing that for the weekend? It’s always looked iffy

Alderc 2.0 yep but this weekend was never banked as one with good weather? It was always looking iffy. Next week has been showing for some time now settling down. Hopefully it does.

Tomorrow looking like another decent day across central and eastern areas. Should get up to between 16c and 19c in some spots.

The weekend is looking unsettled on the GFS, but Monday afternoon onwards again showing a very decent build of high pressure across the country:

In Absence of True Seasons yep the blue is crystal clear today. Been a while since it's been this clear.

Sounds good to me!

B87 got ya! Makes sense

Semantics I suppose. When someone says partly cloudy, I think mostly cloud with some sunny breaks. Mostly sunny is the opposite.

*Stormforce~beka* yep definitely no partly cloudy here. Wall to wall sunshine at the mo.

I'd say mostly sunny, rather than partly cloudy. Currently, and for most of the day, I'd say about 75-80% blue sky, 15-20% fluffy fair weather cloud.

Can’t really complain with the weather today. A bit of a breeze but loads of sunshine and feeling warm. 17c currently.

16c currently with lots of long sunny spells. A little breezy but definitely feels much warmer in the sun today.

ANYWEATHER no one said it was guaranteed? Just commenting on what the models are showing.

ANYWEATHER Days 7 and 8 on the models this morning.

Next week still looking good on the morning output. This coming weekend never had any cross model agreement for fine, settled weather. Day 7 onwards on the GFS looks increasingly good: ECM also shows a strong pressure build starting to appear from overnight next Monday onwards: GEM very similar: GFS mean for the middle of next week: ECM mean for a similar timeframe:

Tea leaves? I have no idea what the weather will be like this Summer, neither do you.

Unless you were expecting some miraculous short term upgrades for the next few days, then yes. It was always meant to be next week. Fingers crossed it happens.

Bit confused by a couple of posts in here this morning. This week was always meant to be unsettled, a mix of sunshine, heavy showers, some longer spells of rain, and warmer. This weekend was never set in stone for dry, settled weather. We had a couple of ECM Op runs that showed that, but there was never cross model agreement. However, there has been a strong signal across the models for a little while now that NEXT week will see pressure building, and that is still the case this morning: GFS: ECM:

Lovely morning, lots of sunshine. Should warm up nicely to about 18c this afternoon.

There’s literally no way to know.

B87 luckily sunshine now doesn’t stop it from appearing in May! I’ll take both.

Yep but small victories, we have to start somewhere.

Pretty incredible that, every month from Jan to June 2013 being below average, significantly so in some months.

B87 looks like we’ll get some decent sunshine and 17c/18c tomorrow.
