I'll do my best, my garden has gone from brown to green over the last week or two. Mostly weeds unfortunately but hey ho!

Cheers!

Bloody wet up here driving through water half way up the wheels on the way in. Glad I didn't put the washing out...

So many of us up here have developed web feet you'd think this was an overspill from Lovecraft's Innsmouth !

Well, we've had some rain, with plenty more to come later.

Since I wrote that post, it's been torrential!

I think that's all of us joining you now @JohnnyO, sloughing through the water on the way in this morning.

Weekend forecast video from Liam Dutton. This coming few days should see a more zonal jet, with periods of rain moving through coparatively quickly, as opposed to the meriodional jet of recent weeks which has seen the heatwave (while we were under a longwave ridge), and this week's wet weather, during which we've been under a trough.

Modelling suggests wet weather overnight tomorrow (Tuesday) and through Wednesday, with hot, humid and possibly thundery conditions later in the week.

Not wrong on the humidity!

It is a touch muggy, isn't it?

Plenty of high-based storms here earlier, with frequent inter-cloud lightning (and the odd cloud-ground strike), thunder and heavy rain, even some hail.
Anyway, here's Liam Dutton on the weekend:

Dutton's week ahead forecast:

Further ahead, model discussion suggests that the south will see quite an amount of warm, sunny conditions, with the north possibly also improving after the main part of next week. Troughing to our north-east, which has tended to tile the jet on a north-west to south-east axis will move to the north-west, initiating a slightly more south-west to north-east jet axis., with a broad area of higher pressure from the Azores across to the Iberian Penninsula. These factors, if they resolve as expected, will tend to deflect low pressure to the north-west, with less of the country being subject to the cooler airmass they contain.
