There's enough agreement and consistency for me to forecast that no
real cold will affect the UK out to almost the end of November, with
80% certainty.

**On 27/11/11, 10 days hence, the UK will be experiencing Atlantic
weather. The predominant wind direction will be between S and NW and
most areas will be still experiencing conditions which show no
particularly cold weather. The CET will be in close to record
territory. Pressure will be higher to the south of the UK, than to our
north and frosts will be limited, if not absent. Any snow will be
confined to the Munro summits.**

Winter may follow, but it is unlikely to happen in this timeframe.

*Great news, hopefully stay that way and we get a VERY short winter.

I'm confident about this forecast now, but the spell of Atlantic
weather may not extend to long after the 27th. Indications of more
meridionality, with pressure building in the Eastern towards the
middlAtlantic may give the possibility of some different and possibly
cooler weather. Still some distance away though.
