Summary valid for Sunday 17/09/06 to Saturday 23/09/06
TOI (time of issue) Friday 15/09/06 2100 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

High confidence that the week will become dominated by a warm and strong west to
southwest airflow with bands of rain moving from west to east. Given the
volatility of the Atlantic and the presence of ex-tropical storms in the flow,
detail is impossible to predict with anything but very low confidence. However,
there are reasonable indications that mid-week sees the greatest chance of gales
and some very wet weather, especially in western and northern areas. 25% chance
of damaging storm force winds on Tuesday and Wednesday. The weather is expected
to turn much less windy later in the week but staying changeable with
temperatures above average.

" Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart.
And try to love the questions themselves.
Do not seek for the answers that cannot be given.
For you wouldn't be able to live with them.
And the point is to live everything, live the questions now,
and perhaps without knowing it, you will live along some day into the answers."

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926)
