5 things for the weekend weather

🌤️ Plenty of dry weather, with sunny spells across much of the UK. ☀️ Western areas look brightest, with some lengthy spells of sunshine. 🌦️ Eastern coasts could catch showers, becoming more likely on Sunday. 🧣 A distinctly autumnal feel, especially in coastal breezes and after sunset. 🌫️ Chilly mornings may bring local mist,

Very mild to cold

We are in a particularly mild spell currently but this is not set to last. In fact from Friday temperatures are expected to turn much cooler. Daytime maximum temperatures are forecast to drop back by 6-9C in some places across southeast England. See below GFS ensemble temperature maps showing how the

The effects from an ex hurricane

We are now feeling the influence of the remnants of Hurricane Isaias, which is moving towards the UK and Ireland as an ex-tropical storm. As it approaches, the system will transition into what we recognise as a classic low pressure system, drawing in a milder, tropical maritime airmass over the

Pressure & Confidence? High & High!

Callers to WeatherLive will know that we have been suggesting for some time that pressure would be building this week. This is now being backed in greater confidence by the models. In the graphs below it's the top one I want you to look at. This compares several models (the different colours).

5 Week Ahead Weather things to know

That final cut for the season

Getting that perhaps final cut in over the coming weeks could prove crucial, if the current modelling is anything to go by. Over the next ten days to perhaps two weeks, both the ECMWF and CFS are suggesting that higher pressure will have more of an influence, bringing generally drier conditions.

Rain totals today

England will see relatively a lot of rainfall with the passing of this low pressure system today eventually clearing East Anglia later on this evening. Below shows what the current GFS model predicts for the total rain from this morning through to midnight tonight.

Blocking building in the next few weeks?

The latest ECMWF 6-week weather regime forecast is showing a tendency towards a blocking pattern as we get past mid-month. We can't read too much into this but the red colours certainly do tend to be the main pattern type mid to late October. This would interrupt the westerly Atlantic winds and
