Not as bad as the models were showing when I last posted here. Most of any heavy rain is mainly focused over the UK for this weekend.
Quite the northern blocking signal as the current omega high delivering this heatwave to parts of western Europe is set to migrate northwards through the coming days. This does not spell good news for August long-term if it's dry and warm weather you shall hunt (nor is it good news for Arctic sea ice).
Guess that SSW from December finally made its way down to the troposphere
Some of the Greenland charts we've had since the start of June would cause a forum-wide weathergasm if they were showing up in Winter!0 -

No heatwaves in the ECM 12Z. It is showing the LP that moves close to us the weekend eventually slowly moving in over us and bringing in cooler Northerly's .
ECM currently showing temps in their high teens or there about to the end of the run.
Who Knows very much FI at the moment.

Correct. The May/June -NAO continued up until the week just gone when we briefly went into a +NAO. This will be another -NAO month to go along with every month since April. Dry Mays with -NAO (which we had this year) aren't too unusual but summer months are especially July and August. Let's look at this from a pressure pattern perspective.Is it fair to say the East at least had an exceptional July given the NAO that was in place?
A lot of people were saying July would be a repeat of the disaster that was June. But even though blocking, to my untrained eye, continued, the weather was OK in the end for the month.
Maybe August will be a repeat?
The image below shows the 500mb height anomaly reanalysis for July 2019 up to the 27th as well as -NAO Julys and -NAO Augusts from the past. Can see quite the difference with -NAO Julys of the past and July 2019.
In past -NAO Julys, a big anticyclone would lay dead center to the south of Greenland and over Iceland with a corresponding trough of below average undercutting in the North Atlantic Ocean. This would result in a southerly tracking jet stream bringing the weather systems away from their usual position which is around Iceland, to south of Ireland. However, in July 2019 whilst there has been a vast amount of blocking over the Arctic Circle, there has been an area of above average heights over us as well as much of western Europe. There is a low undercutting the high latitude blocking in the Atlantic but it is blocked from progressing eastwards by the ridge over us. Meanwhile, you can see a trough to the east of Europe which was associated with the unusually cold temperatures for those regions earlier in July and northerly winds brought down by the blocking in the Arctic. May had a similar setup to this July with ridging from our south keeping us settled though central and eastern Europe were unusually cold, again brought in by northerly winds as a result of the high latitude blocking.
-NAO Augusts are very similar to the -NAO Julys chart, in fact almost identical.

the mid to long term outlook for August looks grim, very unsettled and a cooling trend. The models also looked quite poor for the second half of July but thankfully it didn't play out like that. Hopefully August isn't as poor as it is currently looking.
After a few wamish and dry days, the ensembles show a very unsettled picture and temperatures gradually sliding away.
Low pressures sitting over us from early next week:
Low pressure remains stuck over us up to mid month with cool conditions.
At +384 hours low pressure still hanging around:

Oneric 3 put up a 10 day ECM Total Precipitaion chart and would have to think that it is looking quite wet especially if we see LP coming in from that direction at this time of the year.
Jet powering up and looking Zonal and to the S or over us.

Long way out but tonight's ECM 12z has developed a vigorous area of low pressure over top of the UK & Ireland on Sunday 18 August with a minimum pressure of 975mb and cool northwesterly winds. Wouldn't be out of place in October or November one must say. GFS has a fairly deep low too for the same timeframe but its centre is smaller and much further northwards.

Yea sryanbruen with the Zonal Jet fired up, the last few runs by the ECMWF and GFS have been showing a fairly deep low around next week end , different tracks each run. This run by the ECM showing a deepening depression as it exits the left side of the jet arrive on our shores just before it reaches it's lowest pressure. Looks very wet and windy for a time. It is still a long way out but good to get a starting point on where the models are with it.

The LP next weekend at this stage is tracking well off the NW and not as deep as previous runs. Slow to move on and seems to spiral off the North sending in bands of rain and wind and looks to introduce a cooler N'wl and N'ly air flow the early days of next week turning cooler . The 552 Dam line is very far down S.

GFS starting to trend much warmer for the final few days of August, possibly hinting at a warm start to September. This is a long way off outside the reliable timeframe but the fact that the schools are back around then, you can nearly bank on a warm and sunny first week back at school. Next week and beyond also looking a bit dryer than it has been recently.
warmer, dryer conditions from 23 August.
ECM also bringing in nice conditions from the 23rd

HP certainly looks like it is trying to build next week , signs of it possibly establishing itself next week end but not without a fight maybe as looks to being put under a bit of pressure from a LP next Fri. GFS not as positive as the ECM wanting to form a cut off low meandering around Biscay and up to E of the UK over the course of a few days out to +300 but that is a long long way away. Will be interesting to see if the Azores HP builds and holds. Would be nice to finish out the summer with some settled warm weather.
