Significant differences in the 500mb flow early next week which lead to sig differences in whether we have air descending or rising over England early next week. The differences stem from the handling of a shortwave moving SW from Norway on Sunday. On the GFS this weakens

☀️Scotland has already had its sunniest spring on record, according to provisional Met Office figures. 📊It has so far had 520.5 hours of sunshine, beating the previous record set in 2020, in a series going back to 1910. 😎And with over a week of spring still to go, these

Through a chain of knock-on effects, this same convective pulse could well trigger a return of high pressure to western Europe later next week. For how long, remains to be seen.

There are some increasing signs from the Numerical Guidance that a large area of upper air convergence will develop over the Eastern Atlantic during next week which will help to build a large anticyclone extending down through the troposphere and reflected at the surface near

I thought I would give a check-in to the models to see how the SW Monsoon was gearing up ready for June, However I see that the crucial Somali Jet is already in place and the SW Monsoon is actually ahead of schedule with rains already reaching the far S of India which is around

Rather unusually there are 5 clusters in the ECMWF Ensemble for a relatively short time frame of T+72 to T+96 , all of them showing a relatively unsettled flow off the Atlantic, The trend has been for a slight increase in risk of precip around much of Western England, Wales,

DWD ICON suggesting two cyclones forming on either side of India in the next week. One forms in the monsoonal flow to the west of India and tracks to the North then moving erratically and may interact with MW India and SE Pakistan. This bringing rains much earlier (potentially)

ECMWF now showing some really quite unsettled conditions developing for half term with an active wave depression running NE on Wednesday. It seems plausible that models are underplaying the Jet emerging off the US East Coast next week. Model trends have moved definitely in the
