Arctic sea ice extent.. well below average..

A lot of influence from high pressure next week to 10 days means limited rainfall for the UK... here EC and GFS 10 day forecast rainfall total graphics, and metoffice month ahead forecast via link...

Some high birch tree 🌳 pollen, and moderate to high UV levels during the week ahead

High pressure builds in from the SW next 24hrs so settling down for a while

Next week the high drifts to our N, allowing a brisk E flow to develop, with some cloud and a chance of showers feeding westwards

The low to the SW could also push a few showers into SW England

Pressure rising into the weekend

Drier spell incoming

Low pressure ➡️ High pressure
More settled weather for the weekend

Cold front/rain sweeping eastwards today

Introducing a change in airmass

Graph below indicating sea surface temp anomalies in 3.4 Nino region of the tropical Pacific possibly surpassing +2C-a developing El Nino, could become strongest so far this century..a 'super' El Nino
Could have widespread implications for global weather

The demise of this year's spv stratospheric polar vortex almost certainly underway

5 days now since zonal mean zonal winds at 10hpa 60N reversed to an E'ly..the summer pattern, so half way towards an official final stratospheric warming being declared..

April showers

Notice the clouds bubbling up overland as the sun warms it up 🌦⛈️

Some of the cooler coasts escaping clearer 🌤🌞

A bit different to 48hrs ago!

Why do #chemtrail 'theorists' think the only naturally occurring clouds are fluffy convective cumulus?!

Demonstrating a lack of basic meteorological knowledge..airmasses, Norwegian front model, layered/stratiform cloud dynamics, etc

(Additional to jet fuel induced contrails)

A change in wind direction marking a change in airmass for the UK

We're losing the warm southerly feed of air as cooler Atlantic westerlies are drawn in

Cooling off from the west today

..but still reaching 22C in the SE..about 10 degrees above the early April average high

Like a summer's evening for some in the south..still 21C at 9.30 local

Some saharan dust over head this evening

Final warming of this season's spv stratospheric polar vortex seems imminent with a continuous >=10 day wind reversal to E'ly at 10hpa 60N looking likely

26.6C the provisional high

Crazy temperatures today for this time of the year..around 14 degrees Celsius above average for some 🌡📈...

After yesterday's 24.8C high at Mona, we're close to seeing the #warmestdayoftheyearsofar again here in the UK..

In places temperatures 🌡 are already around 6C above average daytime maxima given time of year

Date records easily likely to be broken again this afternoon with highs nudging into the mid/ potentially upper 20s C

Interesting weather this week

1. Wind direction all important
S'ly flow from the near continent lifting temperatures to ~mid 20s C by Wed..nearing date records..

2. Cooler Atlantic air arrives Thurs

3. Watching a potentially deep low nearby by weekend

..Nope, just can't think of a better candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize...

Temperatures rising for many over the next few days..albeit briefly

Tuesday/Wednesday looking warmest

A high of 23/24C possible
