Early August likely to be much more unsettled
Paul Hudson
A change of calendar month is likely to herald a change in the weather, with low pressure set to dominate conditions during early August.
Summer so far has, generally speaking, been a good one, with a distinct lack of low pressure.
But all that will change by Friday, with most models indicating the UK will be on the forward side of the Atlantic upper trough, with low pressure to the west of the UK.
Weather-wise this means showers or even some longer spells of rain can be expected, but with some decent drier, brighter spells too.
At least temperatures will be at or a little above normal for much of the time, with a prevailing south-westerly wind.
Finally, last weekend’s weather show featured an interview I had with Prof Matt Collins from the Met Office regarding the likely strength of El Nino and the possible implications for global climate and temperatures later this year.
It follows an international conference on the subject the previous week.
