Default British Isles Outlook - 21st to 31st January 2004

The forecast you quoted was posted 9 days out - it was forecast some 12 to
14 days out. I forecast the secondary coming into the SW on 12th quite
well, I thought. (All descriptions are from the 00Z charts) The next one
on Tuesday has been forecast quite well, too. A few days later comes the
next one. And I think that's been done quite well, too.

This is an Outlook at long-range - not a 3 day affair. Perhaps you're
looking for a long range chart with more detail. I'm sorry I couldn't
oblige, but if you find one, let me know.

Cheers, Keith

From one of your previous posts..........

On 12th January a medium sized LP lies to the NW of Britain with a
trough E'wards towards the Norwegian coast. A secondary LP out in the
Atlantic moves in the direction of SW Britain. A large area of HP
covers central Europe and the Mediterranean. Winds are generally from
the W. Once again Scotland has the most rain, while central and SE
areas are dryer.

No mention of the severe storm that is expected to hit southern England
tomorrow. Indeed it's all completely wrong as the southern half of the
country is expected to be very wet, utterly in contrast with your forecast
that suggests Scotland will have the most rain.
