In answer to the previous message: If he looks at todays synoptic chart
he will see that there is a trough extending out from the low pressure
and waving front over europe. This is enough to explain how some stations
in the north midlands have westerly winds while others futher south have
a south eaterly direction; I other words the winds are following the
direction of the isobars round the trough.
Hope this is helpfull!


Thank you for that.

I was surprised because the some of the winds either side of the trough
were at 180deg to each other.

No, it was not a meteorological feature. Sequential obs show no continuity.
Perhaps there were two days data mixed on one chart. The 1250 obs appear to
be the rogue values with winds mainly from the west or northwest.
