Is that good weather on horizon for next week.

A large area of high pressure seems to be ready to move up over Ireland from next sunday and stay for a few days at least.

Can some of the more knowedgeable posters comment and confirm?

A less knowledgeable poster can confirm that is a long long way away.

Summary
From anticyclonic to cyclonic

September looked like holding promise but that's only true now if you are keen to refill your water butts.

Monday 6 September 2010 to Sunday 12 September 2010
Heavy rain at first, heavy showers later

The start of the week brings heavy rain to many and winds of some strength.

Pilots will have heard the term "rotor streaming", walkers may have experienced it without knowing: Southeasterly winds screaming over the Pennines and Highland tops at around 50mph on Monday and Tuesday will cause a cylindrical rotor on the lee side which could blow you back uphill. It will appear on aviation forecasts as severe turbulence with good reason.

Wednesday brings heavy showers, breeziness rather than windiness and a bit of warm sun. Then its fine with a few showers until the weekend when a spell of significant rain looks again likely.

Frost looks unlikely.

Monday 13 September 2010 to Sunday 19 September 2010
Still looks like autumn

Cooler than it should be, wetter than it should be, duller than it should be and all this with medium to high confidence.

Greece looks good...

Monday 20 September 2010 to Sunday 3 October 2010
Looks more reasonable than the last week

Back to averages for autumn. Except in eastern England where the pointers are for a lot of rain, so lower than average temperatures and too many overcast days.
Next week

Maybe October will give us one weeks break - between old hurricane cores.

Not sure if there's a model disagreement or if Rob is just being pessimistic there, but the current GFS run looks much better for next week, a strong high builds in over the south and at the very worst it would be cloudy with sunny intervals, and just a bit of drizzle on west-facing coasts. It could even be better than that, if the model verifies. Until about Sunday, however, there's only one decent looking day, Thursday.

most colleges start back on Monday which means the weather next week is gonna be beer garden and bbq weather! It always happens.
