Long dry spell set to end next weekend

You heard it here first folks !

At long last the upper patterns are shifting and it looks like that next weekend
will see the beginning of the end of this fine spell. By then the block will be
breaking down as the Atlantic flow breaks through to the south and at the same
time cool air swings down from the north on the eastern side of the high. This
should see a baroclinic zone developing over southern Britain next weekend as
the two airmasses meet. The ensembles would suggest a 60% confidence rating on
this. What this means in terms of weather will be a breakdown from the SW with
heavy prolonged rain and probably embedded thunderstorms. Flooding will be a
possibility too as rain runs off hard ground. So make the most of this weekend
and next week because it looks like it won't last too much longer.

Will.

Quite right. Was out today for a few hours after lunch. Still very
unpleasant weather.



It seemed to be very humid today.

The dew point is around 17°C which is a high value. Not that unpleasant
as it was quite cloudy which stopped the temperature rising above 27°C.
It also leads to warm evenings which is rather pleasant

Well I've just got back from a wonderful morning/afternoon in Salcombe. The
walks were gorgeous and the sea was lovely and warm and everybody was happy and
smiling on the beach soaking up the sun. It was also nice to sit in the cafe
sipping lager afterwards just like on the continent. It doesn't get much better
than this in the UK !

Anyway, bring on the rain if it has to come, a lot of folk certainly need it in
the southeast. I just hope you don't get too much grin.

Happy holiday cheers !

Will.

We're off to the beach today (either Margate/Broadstairs or down towards
New Romney) - yet another gloriously sunny day here! Nice to catch up on
some summery weather after missing the whole [British] summer by being
in America.
