Well, with the gritter non-story hitting headlines today I wondered if this years snow thread had started yet?
NO! It's not even September yet!Edited to add: Last years thread was started on 26th August and it didn't snow, the year before it was started on the 27th August and it didn't snow, August snow threads never work!

Had a BBQ at the weekend, however there was only 2 of us actually doing the cooking with everyone else hiding indoors for some reason!

First snow last year was the 22nd of September for me, so less than a month to go potentially! Might be worth starting one soon!

With the return of northerly winds this week, don't rule out snow on the Cairngorms...Had a BBQ at the weekend, however there was only 2 of us actually doing the cooking with everyone else hiding indoors for some reason!

So far the only hot spells we've had is when low pressure sat to our West and high pressure to our East. As each system turns in a different direction, both pushing a flow from the south over us - it got warm.
We're heading in to a spell of weather which is the opposite. As per NRS's picture, low pressure is now to the East, and high pressure to the West. This will drive cool air from the North, along with cloud. Only Scotland and a few coastal patches in northern England are likely to see the showers from this system.
So dry and cool.
Still waiting for summer

The UK is awesome and I miss a lot of aspects (such as the ability to run a business reliably), but not the weather. When the weather is great, it's lovely but summers are so short and the rest of the time is cold, wet, grey, unpredictable. It's even worse in Wales. 90% of the time I call my sister and it's usually pissing it down, so they spend much of their time cooped up inside watching TV.

It's also one of the reasons I eventually left Austria. Beautiful place but while summers are amazing, they only last 2 months, and then it's back to wet, cold nights and freezing grey, dark winters. Horrific.
Pacific looking a little spicy at the moment! http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/...
Also Hurricane Fred was the easternmost formed Atlantic Hurricane, and the first for Cape Verde (bummer if you'd booked a holiday!)

I keep looking at Saturdays since it has come into the BBC frame. Showers, sunny, cloudy.. it's like a flippin roller-coaster. The last thing I need is a soggy (and probably grouchy) bride. So tell me weather sages, please tell me it's going to be dry!
Depends where...By and large, as per Mr Grimnasty above - it should remain dry and cool. Coastal areas can't rule out light rain if the winds are 'favourable'.
