High Pressure and more High Pressure!

Doesn't come as any surprised does it, we move beyond the three most important summer months and what happens across much of Europe now, high pressure arrives!

The summer period was often dominated by low pressure across the British Isles, in particular through July and August and some unsettled conditions, at times extended well into Europe as well. Autumn can be a time when high pressure does make more of an appearance though. Some of the weather patterns developing across Europe through the next week would have lead to some hot, if not very hot weather, through the summer, especially for the UK given that winds would have, overall, been coming in from the Continent.

However, it is the lack of rainfall that stands out within the next week or more across many areas of Europe. Except for some wet weather through eastern regions and, perhaps not surprisingly across northern and western areas of the British Isles, the rainfall anomaly chart below highlights much of Europe set to experience much drier than average conditions for the time of year.

The wet weather across some eastern areas comes from local downpours and thunderstorms, but as the precipitation percentage (%) of normal chart highlights, it is looking dry across Europe as we move through the final week or so of September. The wettest weather does look set to be across more northern and western areas of the British Isles, as we continue to be located on the boundary of a lot of high pressure, while low pressure dominates just to the north and west, in the North Atlantic.
