Summary valid for Sunday 29/10/06 to Saturday 04/11/06
TOI (time of issue) Friday 27/10/06 1900 UK local time

This summary is based on a quick appraisal of the GFS, JMA, ECMWF, UKMO, FAX,
and ENS (NCEP ensemble) labelled charts available from the superb
http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten

Confidence in this forecast is moderate to high. First widespread frost on
Wednesday night.

On Sunday and Monday England and Wales look like being generally cloudy with
patchy rain in places, mainly in the west, some sunny intervals. Temperatures
above normal. Scotland and Northern Ireland should be fine on Sunday, however,
cloud, rain and strong to gale southwesterly winds will spread in from the west
on Monday as a deep depression moves east to the north of Scotland from Iceland.

On Tuesday, rain from this depression will spread to England and Wales, but
light and patchy in the south. More gales and rain in Scotland and Northern
Ireland. However, as the depression moves to the east of Shetland later on
Tuesday the wind will swing into the north and it will become much colder with
the rain turning showery.

On Wednesday the colder air will push south into Scotland and Northern Ireland
with sunny spells and showers in exposed coastal and hilly areas. The showers
will turn wintry with time with possible blizzards in the Highlands. Showers
will push south into eastern parts of England later in the day, however, many
southern and western areas will turn dry with spells of sunshine but with a
fresh north or northwest wind at times. A widespread frost setting in on
Wednesday night as winds ease from the west. The frost may be moderate in
places.

On Thursday and Friday the weather is expected to become mainly dry as a ridge
of high pressure extends down from the north. Still a few wintry showers in NE
Britain, but sunshine by day and frost at night. Possibly some freezing fog
which may persist all day in a few places. Day temperatures near normal but cold
where fog lingers.

Probably staying cold and mainly dry over the weekend with possibly some wintry
showers in eastern areas. Frost and fog patches at night.

Ah that's more like it! Thanks Will.

I must remember to do something about those tender plants still outside
this weekend.

Thanks Will. We're going to the Lake District on Friday, so hoping to
see some snow on the tops, nice clean air and some great photo
opportunities.
