Finally warming up?

[Tom2006]

The weather models are predicting a relatively warmer week although still wet for many of us, but there is now a strong hint of some 20C+ temperatures by next weekend, although sadly it doesn't look like lasting. But something to look forward to all the same

And another thread is thinking -5 for someone Tom,

I can say it was probably a little cold last night but its been a lovely day here.

Based on this run, maybe even possible 25C temperatures in Belgium and Southern Holland. I will see because it's far way but even 17-18C with sunshine for a few days in a row would be great after such start of spring.

The high pressure seems to be building over the continent as it is going to get very warm in France and Germany by Wednesday.

Unfortunately we are just on the northern edge of this good weather so what this means for us and the low countries as well is strong South West to North West winds and bands of heavy rain.

The only good thing about this is slightly warmer days?But it probably won't feel much different due to the strong winds.

I think Holland will do better then us though as you are slightly nearer to the higher pressure then we are.

So we might perhaps start to approach the temperatures we reached in late March, a month and a half later??

Wow! (I don't think!!)

UKMO and EC hold the high pressure more east then GFS with mean Holland will be on the cool side as well. Proberly 1 or 2 days temperatures going to 20C and then we are back on track like the weather is now. So in this case I will choose GFS.

The late March temps were well above even the July average.

The highs seem to be meandering into better positions , the ingredients are there for the long hot summer , what will June bring I wonder.

30th of June we have outside party here in hawai theme because my mom and dad celebrating there 50th birthday and my sister celebrate there 22th birthday this June. That day has to be dry and sunny and it would be even greater when it's warm to get more that hawai feeling.

Warm and great weather during the european champion ship would be great as well, Tour de France, etc. Remembering Holland against Brasil 2 years ago very well, we won and it was very hot during that day. Incredible atmosphere and time after that 90 minutes... hmmm I'm just looking forward to a warm and long summer...
