Any signs of spring?
During the last week, I’ve had lots of people saying that they’ve had enough of the cold and would happily welcome something spring-like with open arms. So, are there any signs of this happening?

After another cold weekend with further snow across the UK, it looks like temperatures will rise this week as milder air moves in off the Atlantic.
A burst of energy from the jet stream has brought mild, wet and windy weather to our shores this week. However, next week, the cold weather is set to return.
Whilst the jet stream has roared back to life this week, with a return to mild, wet and windy weather, there are signs that in the coming weeks, there’ll be a trend to something colder again.
In my blog last week, I wrote that I expected the weather across the UK to turn colder towards the middle of January, but what still remains very uncertain is how cold it will get.
In recent days, the different weather computer models have started to show more agreement in the weather pattern during the next fortnight, with most of them showing signs of a notable cold spell.
Whilst September is a month during which we see the transition to autumn, there’s still the potential to have weather more akin to summer.
With the weekend upon us, the big question is: will the fine weather continue? The main message is that some places are likely to cling on to the fine weather longer than others.
Just over a week ago most of us enjoyed a spell of settled and warmer weather as an area of high pressure built over the UK. The hottest day of the year so far was recorded, reaching 30.7C.
Over a week ago I broke the news that the jet stream was finally going to head northwards having been stuck south of the UK for months bringing record-breaking rainfall.
The weekend is approaching and the jet stream is heading northwards – something that will bring many of us a lovely weekend with sunshine and warmth.
Last Friday I wrote about the news that many of us are glad to hear – finally, the jet stream is heading northwards.
Having delivered nothing but tales of rain and flooding for the past few months, I’ve been looking forward to this day.
Whilst many of us may be pleased that the warmth and sunshine has arrived, it’s important not to forget that southern and eastern parts of England are still officially in drought.
Most of us have been bathed in warmth and sunshine this week, with an area of high pressure across the UK, but will it continue this weekend?
