Just sick of rain,rain,rain,rain come on let’s have some high pressure stuck over the country ☹️

[@bonniejeffery4070]

wont it be nice when summer finally gets here lol

[@tranporter500]

From what I have seen. High pressure is dominating Europe as said in the video, but we have a 150mbar jet stream over the southwest annoyingly!!!

[@Simon-qn5wm]

I can predict exactly when the low will be centered over the UK with prolonged heavy rain. It will be Bank Holiday Monday

[@Bevieevans8]

So, for my next 2 weeks holiday I’ll pack jumpers, gloves, tee shirts and sunscreen. Oh and an umbrella of course

[@markrichards7164]

Depressing weather

[@Gooner184]

how?

[@Andy-zv1nj]

@@Gooner184 Way too much cloud, horrible patten especially for eastern coasts!

[@themoodyteam]

Not if you live in the North West 😊

[@heatherjoy479]

It is down bottom south yuk

[@mickeyfilmer5551]

It's lagging it down here at the moment (N.E. Wales) and blowing a hoolie! And to top it- it's really cold! PAH!🤔

[@christinepease890]

Thank you, Aidan

[@bonniejeffery4070]

Aiden i live in the west country and quite honestly i am fed up with the wet weather , when is summer going to start. Any warm weather to look forward too.

[@SkyeSeafoodandeatit]

Not much you can do about it, either that move

[@kevintraynor4508]

Prob be late August and sep like usual

[@AllanBurkinshaw-xo7gm]

​@@kevintraynor4508The usual Indian summer, followed by darker nights then back to Maverick! 82 years old, I wanted to go and live in Australia when I was in my twenties but the other half wouldn't.

[@jonathanbell5815]

4 months ago, it was Christmas, and in four months, it's going to be September and knocking on the door of cold weather again.

[@suewright1299]

Very many thanks Aidan. Another forecast that doesn’t promise a great deal…aside from wet and more of it to follow!! We’ll soon be getting to love it - or not 😊 😮 😢 Never mind, I’m sure summer is probably just around the corner, though which corner remains to be seen! Take care everyone and thanks to the Met for your work. 😊

[@garyvisick1409]

I expect it will be warm and dry in the Southeast & East Anglia though, dont worry about us elsewhere.

[@PeterMackett]

Still no end to the damn rain!, absolutely sick ot it now!,it's been cold for months are now they are giving thunderstorms which need heat to develop so not much chance of that!

[@williamling3056]

What happened to the high pressure system you confidently forecast to be sitting over us at the end of April a couple of weeks ago?

[@juliawigger9796]

It's that expression "trust the science " 🙄🙄🙄

[@Jon-hh3gz]

Remember this weather when we have a heatwave in July!

[@usaneebeilles9510]

Thank you for the info.

[@tammicraft7079]

It is humbling to share the planet with such amazing expertise in the form of Aidan.

[@georgepointer1127]

How much you being paid

[@alanduffy6826]

Yessssssssss warm rain

[@adi91216]

There are no in-betweens now anymore. Either it's freezing or boiling.

[@garyvisick1409]

Over the last year its been neither.

[@lindaj5492]

Can’t we just tow the UK further south please?

[@tracieaveling7682]

Very grateful for safe weather 😊

[@kevintraynor4508]

The weather is just a mess this year. That cold weather that is being pulled down from the north and back up southward is the the reason prob for the wet and windy spell. To be honest I used to love spring and summer. Now I just look forward to September to enjoy the idian summer

[@stephenwood2216]

Summers here, cloud with warm rain

[@Doughty321]

Blegh absolute mess off a week weather wise. More rain but this time a bit warmer.

[@wendymitchell4004]

Well i realy wish i hadnt watched this now 😢

[@SteveAldous]

Your update is appreciated

[@maccook5909]

Why is your forecast different from your website forecast?

[@sionnachog894]

Great summary, top class.

[@michaeloreilly657]

A week ahead without mention of the jet stream! Nothing to send that Low on its way.

[@kevintraynor4508]

I made sure I made the most of yesterday ,as I knew weather was going down hill

[@daveelliott5855]

Uh, more rain, well at least me fish will be happy, have a feeling this is going to be another summer of 2012 after the now annual winter flooding, I suppose they don't call where I live the wetlands for nothing 😂. Any chance of a 2018 summer?

[@garethcumming667]

Everyone over the age of 17 should have to live in Preston for a year. That would make them realise how lucky they are.

[@zlyzly5940]

the very best thx!

[@philipmurphy2]

British weather when it's warm - It's raining

[@samevans2332]

Odd pressure set up at the moment. Big slow moving low and very immobile pressure pattern

[@nickush7512]

Thanks... from the far South West !! :)

[@joansmith8215]

Yeah but as usual, one extreme to another

[@mattwilson836]

Warming up 18 oc can’t complain for spring

[@wfamdaxj]

Leng.....

[@crxdan1]

❤

[@xtrax38]

Longer spells of rain as the weekend progresses 🤦

[@karlbarker-ic8gw]

It’s 24 degrees I think next week

[@kevintraynor4508]

I'm afraid spring has gone . Maby euroupe have all the sun again this year

[@madmick6805]

Why did The Met Office- UK Weather change the temperature colours to these Reds when its only 20c I would have thought 40's would be red??

[@simonh6371]

All the media are gaslighting us. Newspapers are full of ''bank holiday heatwave'' headlines ''UK set to bask in temperatures as high as 20 C''. These are just normal temperatures for mid-late April and it has been unseasonably cold this year. I'm in London and just a couple of evenings ago it was 4 degrees C. Those are January temperatures here.

[@typower9]

Didn't they used to use blue colours for low pressure? Now they use orange?

[@metoffice]

The colours represent temperature not pressure (the white lines are the isobars)

[@typower9]

@@metoffice In that case it looked as if it was going to be colder in Spain than in South East England....

[@starizstar5135]

​@@typower9No iy didn't

[@gtp_vexd3507]

What’s that? Rain, you say?

[@531c]

Typical April weather, nothing unusual. Why are people complaining about the weather? Its always been changeable in the British Isles.

[@gillswift274]

Another mixed bag of weather

[@67theyear]

I’ll be claiming asylum in Spain before the years oot 😡😡😡🙄🙄
