The ECMWF surface map at 24 hours shows high pressure bringing the chilly morning’s and pleasant, sunny days while low pressure and cold northerly winds on the backside bring snow to northern Sweden.

It’s chilly here too this morning beneath that high. Clear skies and light winds allowed lows to widely dip to between 3-6C overnight.

By Tuesday, the high get’s kicked SE into France while a front brings wet weather back into Scotland while a trough and chilly air descends over Scandinavia. Some cold late September night’s to come up there.

Check out the 850 temps at 48 hours over northern Scandinavia! Record cold possible.

UK still looks on track for Atlantic door opening up as seen below but I must say I’m impressed with the chill diving south to our north east. Heights line down to 522 over northern Scandinavia in September is impressive!

Looks like we get a breather from wet, blustery conditions in the north late week but another front sweeps in towards next weekend.

Hum, latest ECMWF next weekend into the following week is starting to hint at ridging over Western Europe…

Bit of a shift in the latest NAO projections with positive now on the table. This would support more UK and Western ridging.
