Spring Forecast

Spring Forecast

March

I'm expecting an unsettled, chillier than average or average start to March but not particularly cold. But quite quickly I expect high pressure to reestablish over the UK, possibly mid-month. Which for a time could bring quite mild weather for March. I expect it to become quite a bit drier also, maybe very dry, the dry weather could be alleviated in some areas by one off downpours here and there. In my personal opinion, I do think we could see some exceptionally mild weather later in March too. That's just my opinion.

April in my view I think things may switch a bit to be on the cooler side, northerly winds could become prominent in this month, I do think there could be some snowfall when we do get northerly winds but whereabouts is obviously unknown at this stage. But personally I think April will be a cooler than average or average month. Rainfall I think it could be a bit drier than average for some parts or on the average side.


(Here's a Snippet For May) I plan to do a month ahead forecast for May closer to the time as it is so far away. May even do it for April too.


May in my opinion won't be at the grand heights of last years glorious May. However I don't think it'll be atrocious nonetheless. I think it'll be quite warm, and a thundery month in my opinion. Not as warm as 2018. Definitely not as dry as 2018. Rainfall wise I think it'll  be one of the wetter than average months of the Spring at this stage.

I plan to do detailed Month Ahead Forecasts for both May and April at later stages because they're a while off yet. But overall this is the general Spring forecast

I think it'll be a topsy turvy Spring, from really mild spells, to really chilly spells, to really dry spells to really quite unsettled spells.

Looking At Winter 18/19 Models

Looking At Winter 18/19 Models Before we begin, I'd like to stress that it is still early days, so whatever the models are saying at this point in time, may be totally different to what they may be saying in a few months time. This is just for fun, and an interesting look at what the Winter of 2018/19 may be like. So first half I'd like to start of with the CFSV2 model. . Not much to go off from this I dont think, however the high pressure usually close to Spain looks like it is a lot weaker, and more to the south than usual. But we have that huge swathe of low pressure to the West. With Not much to go on, I can have a little guess from the things we do see, and I believe the CFS is probably going for a mild zonal winter with this update, it'd probably be quite stormy, I think, because high pressure seems way away from us. However it's still early days and these models could change. JAMSTEC Now, onto JAMSTEC. JAMSTEC looks quite interest...
