It is that time again, everyone is asking what this summer will bring. Us British are obsessed with the weather and most, not all, like to see a warm and settled summer. What does this summer have in store? Below I have my annual predictions, last years forecast couldn’t have gone any better, although I feel this years is a lot trickier looking at the signals.   My long range forecasts summarise each month by looking at temperature, pressure and precipitation anomalies, you’ll find for each month expected precipitation and temperature, for example above average, average or below average. Above average in temperature signals warmer and at times hot weather and the same applies for precipitation. Above average precipitation means it …

Nothing significant in terms of high temperatures are expected at the moment but a warm up is on the cards.   Whilst many areas see temperatures respond next week it is the most unlikely areas that will see the highest temperatures next week!

Please find a video animation of sea level pressure and precipitation (rainfall) for next week using our high resolution model data further down this post.   I’m trying very hard to bring a full service back to the general …
