Summary valid for Sunday 08/10/06 to Saturday 14/10/06
TOI (time of issue) Friday 06/10/06 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
High confidence that the week will be dominated by warm southwest/south or
southeasterly winds. Very little frost. A lot of dry weather in eastern areas
but more cloudy, wetter and windier in the west, especially in the first half of
next week. Moderate confidence in detail but lower confidence for a build of
pressure from the east later.
Sunday - SE England, E.England and most of Scotland mainly dry and rather cloudy
with strengthening south or southwest winds. Remaining areas more cloudy with
occasional rain and drizzle and fresh to strong south or southwest winds.
Temperatures 15C in Scotland and up to 20C in SE England in any sunshine.
A wet night on Sunday night with gales in exposed parts followed by a fine day
with sunshine in the south on Monday but windy further north with sunny
intervals and showers. Temperatures above normal.
Tuesday looks like a fine autumn day with spells of sunshine and mostly light to
moderate southerly winds. Temperatures up to 18C in the south and 14C over
Scotland. Possibly some rain spreading into western areas in the evening and
strengthening winds.
Wednesday at the moment looks like being rather cloudy with some showers,
especially in the south - low confidence though. Winds generally turning light
and rather variable but mainly southerly. Temperatures above average.
Thursday looks like being similar to Wednesday but with most showers in the SW.
By Friday pressure will be building from the east and dry weather with sunny
spells looks like pushing westwards. Temperatures staying above normal though
despite a strengthening southeast wind. Still a chance of showers, mainly in the
south.
