Current dry conditions across southern England, with London recording just a few millimeters of rain through mid-May against a 45–50 mm historical average, have anchored trader sentiment toward the closely matched 10–15 mm and 15–20 mm bins. Ensemble forecasts from the Met Office and ECMWF indicate a persistent high-pressure ridge suppressing Atlantic low-pressure systems, limiting widespread frontal rain while allowing only scattered showers. Model spread in jet-stream position and timing of any weakening high creates the narrow gap between these leading outcomes, as modest additional precipitation could push totals into the upper bin while continued subsidence keeps them lower. Updated model runs later this week will clarify whether steering patterns shift enough to alter the dry trajectory before month-end.
