Malcolm's view as of Monday 9th:
The overnight analysis shows low pressure to the west and south with a front to the south east moving NW during the day. So the UK can effectively be divided into two today and tonight vis the weather with N. Ireland, Scotland and until later N. England getting the best of the sunshine, albeit with a few showers, whilst rain will spread NW from the south east during the period thus cloudy and wet elsewhere.
The rain, heavy at times, will continue to push NW overnight and through Tuesday morning Thus bringing N.Ireland. N. England and southern Scotland into the frame but by 1800 the upper low and associated surface feature has been forced south east between the block to the east and amplifying high pressure to the west. A movement that initiates the brisk easterly flow over the UK and which is depressingly going to negatively affect temps along the NE/E coast for a few days whilst elsewhere is quite warm.
Wednesday sees the consolidation of the high cell to the north east and the upper low over Iberia thus the twin easterly inflows pertaining with cold conditions under leaden skies in the north east north of the Wash whilst remaining dry and warm south and west of there.
Thursday see the very resilient block coming under increasing pressure from the energy exiting North America which has the affect of boosting the easterly flow over the UK. leveling the temp playing field a tad, whilst at the same pushing low pressure with associated front north into southern England introducing showery conditions with perhaps the odd storm
By Friday the pressure from the west has gained a little ground and low pressure has pushed NE over the UK with the associated front bringing patchy rain to Wales, England and N. Ireland. But it also veers the surface wind and cuts off the North Sea influence to a large extent except for the far north east of England and Scotland.(there it may take a tad longer) And as can be seen temps south of the border are pleasantly above average
