It looks like the Westerlies are returning this week, with a flatter

What a foul looking model run. Low pressure and northerly, northerly,
northerly from around day 10 onwards. A case of "if only it were
January" perhaps? :-)

Only consolation is it is so far ahead as to be near-zero probability of
happening.

To be honest I think I'd prefer northerlies to SWlies, though the
local effects of this part of southern England do influence things,
and other parts of the country may be different (SWlies are much more
pleasant in the rain-shadow of the Welsh mountains, IMX, for
instance). Nlies may be cool but at least they generally produce good
visibility, relatively little rain and often, very light winds. SWlies
on the other hand tend to produce the most unpleasant weather at this
(and indeed most other) time of year down here. I think I'd prefer 3C
below average and dry to 1C below average and sopping wet right now!

Yes, you're spot on there, Nick. In this area, SW'lies are something to
look forward to. A typical warm sector is usually dry and mild/warm, with
excellent visibility - and usually some warm sunshine if the depth of
moisture isn't too great. A far cry from what I grew up experiencing down
in Somerset!
