The transitional shift from the winter to spring pattern is underway, where will it land?
As the patterns begin to formulate for the spring, it is always a difficulty to judge just which influence will have the upper hand, and it is still the belief that high pressure will be the controlling factor for much of the time. There is some discrepancy and uncertainty over the medium term when high pressure may give way to a more Atlantic orientated flow, this controlling the return of milder and wetter conditions across all areas of the UK, we may have a while to go yet before the Atlantic become more ‘active’. It is the belief that most of us will probably have warmer temperatures delivered to us on the back of increasing levels of sunshine under high pressure, milder Atlantic air still having quite a job to flood into the UK. If it’s real heat you’re after then you’ll probably have to wait until late-May when the combined effects of continental sourced air and late-spring or early summer sunshine become synchronised? */12/03/10 – 19/03/10* High pressure should be in control of
