Maybe I'm just a natural pessimist but for any of the charts I look at for
the next week or so the most consistent feature seems to be the Azores High.
This seems quite large, quite strong at 1032mb and ridging into the Bay of
Biscay. Surely a decent cold spell is unlikely while this feature persists,
as it usually does. While folks are looking to the North and East are they
possibly overlooking "the bleeding obvious" !
Hope I'm wrong.
