GFS model hints at much colder weather beyond mid-month

on


An impressive looking blocking regime is showing up in the far echelons of the 12z GFS operational run, which would be in keeping with the Met Office long range forecast. 

Heights extending to our NW, N and NE around mid-month would serve to keep Atlantic systems at bay, and result in very cold ESE or E winds being pulled in across Ireland and Britain.


Models have been toying with such an eventuality for a number of days. We will see where the operational run sits with the ensembles this evening.
