A zoomed up view:



Certainly looks promising. My only concern at this stage is that a tighter gradient squeeze is forecast over Ireland from thursday onwards as the high slips more to the east. Any breeze could peg back temps a small bit as well as taking the joy out of any heat; coupled with this it is a breeze that may suck up a lot of fog and murk along the south coast + dampening chances of big inland storms developing.


Hopefully ECM will slacken the flow in later runs.

Well nice breakdown for you there Pat on Thursday if it came off. Damn SE winds aiding and pushing all the fun out west again.

GFS 18Z still goes for a more UK breakdown on Wednesday with the high futher east compared to ECM.

Typical, three days and a thunderstorm summer. :mad:

No doubt any potential will miss here Snowbie, there is still too much of a breeze forecast for thursday for my liking, although Nacho, being further north and more inland/elevated than me could become quite smug (again:D) come thursday.

I wouldn't rule out potential storms/thundery rain being a bit more widespread on thursday though, as the latest ECMWF/Hirlam seems to latching onto some sort of thundery band developing ahead of the main trough and moving up from the south/southeast.



Still very early and subject to change, but the trend is consistant for now.
Don't despair just yet Snowbie!

Hi Azores High !

According to the BBC forecast at lunchtime today we are set for some thundery showers by the end of next week. To top it all off, it would be good if the mean temperature pushed up towards 14.8 by the end of the week:D

For some reason meteireann have pulled back on their earlier forecasts of mid twenties to now only saying low twenties and "increasingly unsettled" on their website.

looks like the hot weather will mainly effect the south eastern half of the UK, temperatures will be more normal around these parts.
