no sign of improvement

Spend a bit of time looking at GFS models and long range forecasts.
Absolutely no change in weather likely as far as can be seen ahead. each high pressure system that tries to establish gets smashed out the way by yet another storm. sick of it now.

We had half our average rainfall in November...

Since then we have had 5 months worth of rainfall In less than 3 months. February is already double its average here, with 9 days still to go!!
I've never seen the place in such a mess for such a prolonged period.

I did see (but annoyingly can't now find) a long range forecast saying March will be a lot drier and settled. So here's hoping they are right and I didn't dream it

Some of the longer range models are starting to show higher pressure building over the UK in March.

Aye, I wouldn't be surprised if we are burnt useless by May

My fear would be more that after such a prolonged spell of westerlies we get stuck in a high dominated easterly pattern for the next 3 months, with a much delayed spring

I should bloody think so after 5months of cra#p!

I'm afraid they've been promising it coming better next month for the last 4 months. If they keep on at it eventually we will be into summer and they might actually be correct.
I really don't think they know. It's always the same generalised rhetoric... "The South and east are more likely to see any drier spells whilst the north and west may be wetter" DUH!! You don't say!!!

Jet stream forecast seems to alter mid March. How do they know???
