Summary

Slow-moving Atlantic weather gives mixed bag

There seems to be a reluctance on the part of the atmosphere to move with any speed. Whilst the forecast models suggest that we'll largely stay in a "mobile westerly" flow, i.e. weather systems coming in from the Atlantic, the speed of progress is that of a London traffic jam.

The result is that rain lasts a long time because the front bringing it takes at least 18 hours to cross any one place; Fog lasts a long time because there is precious little breeze, but the sun too could have a long outing.

There is a hint that at the start of December, the progress from west to east stops altogether and we will have a spell of northerly winds.
