Just checked BBC atlantic charts and it shows a nice big high from north sea end pushing the low down, is this what we have been waiting for? or am i misreading it all?

High pressure air is air that is sinking. If there's an arctic high pressure area coming down from the Arctic in July, it probably indicates another ice age.
Decent summer weather is usually associated with high pressure coming up from the Azores.

The long range forecast from ECMWF also look better than they have for weeks. Ever the optimist!!! . As ever with UK weather, hope for the best but plan for the worst!!

ECMWF shows a 1025MB High developing over the South of England starting Monday next week. We will believe it when we see it.

V wise Nick IMHO.....
It seems that the current weather patterns are making life very tough for the forecasters..... And as a consequence they keep changing their minds...
This weekends forecast was miles from the reality...
Not blaming them you understand, just recognising that the current patterns are making forecasting pretty hit or miss....

Can strongly empathise with those stuck in Spain, we have been in Camaret Sur Mer for 5 days waiting for a decent forecast to cross the other way, down towards La Coruna. I cannot see us leaving here before Saturday to head across.
Getting used to Camaret, but would love to get away now.

..you must have noticed how the weather now changes with the month. If what you say is still current thinking, we're in for a cold snap before the below occurs.
Just checked Grib and they say the same thing. The Atlantic low will track across Northern Scotland and associate with two developing lows to form a complex low which will bring Very Strong winds all down the east coast before moving away into Scandinavia and Russia, allowing the Azores high to extend putting a col across our home waters by Tuesday. Then it will be back to summer for Aug. 1st.
You read it here first.

How fast do you think we travel Stu???
Hoping to arrive Scillies Monday - to sunshine and blue seas/skies - although the light NE winds might see us heading for Ireland.
