Some very stormy charts continue to be shown for Friday by the global models - there remains great uncertainty on exact positioning and potential intensity of the winds. Location will matter on areas at greatest risk of strongest of the winds.
Eyes peeled on the models!

A sunshine and shower kind of day again - less windy today so could fly the drone up and catch this passing heavy shower ☔️

Meteorological summer ends tomorrow, and what a rather uneventful summer it's been in terms of weather for me! The only real things I will take away from this summer's weather is end of July heat, thunderstorms on 1st August and Storm Lilian.

Perhaps a little less uncertainty now.
ECM OP and its ensembles remain rather keen on a disturbance to be stuck and move over the UK and to our W/SW
GFS differs, but there are about 17/30 of its ensembles suggesting a scenario more akin of the ECMWF.
ECMWF ensembles largely supportive of ECM OP.

A decent weekend coming up! Temperatures generally around 18-22°C. SE looks to be more prone to cloud this time around, but plenty of dry weather in store.
Might need to watch the possibility of something thundery through Sunday in the SE.

High pressure beginning to build in today, what looks to be a rather warm and sunny weekend!
However.. as I mentioned a couple days ago, that weakness in between the initial build of pressure and a rebuild of the Azores high needed watching, which continues to be modeled.

All that build of high pressure just for us to sit under the 'green blob' of doom thanks to a weakness in the ridging. 🧐
One of many possible outcomes as we go into this weekend and start of next week.

Going to be a windy one tomorrow afternoon through the majority of the country. Widespread heavy showers in the NW, some, potentially a bit thundery.

The jet stream behind Ernesto's passage will become quite enhanced - while not a washout, could be a rather showery and breezy period of weather through 22nd-26th.

Unlike the remnants of hurricane Debby which allowed some amplification of the high leading to a period of warmer/hotter weather, the remnants of hurricane #Ernesto look to enhance the Atlantic influence after its passage.

A small risk of some thundery downpours around the Home Counties tomorrow - UKV showing a somewhat greater extent of thundery showers.

Could be quite a wet night for a few places tonight within this area, varied model outputs, but below is the UKV for 4am. Some quite heavy rain mixed in with that. ☔️
