Graham (Weston Coyney) North West Midlands.

Eastern coastal districts should mean places on the east coast.
Birmingham is not in that region and should not be included in it. I
was reading the West Midlands forecast on the Met Office website two
days ago, and it mentioned the coasts. I think that was wrong as no
part of the West Midlands is on the coast.


As I pointed out in my earlier post, that's what happens with
easterlies. I noticed when I was a child that forecasters could not
handle them correctly and they still haven't figured them out.

It wasn't so much the easterly that gave problems, rather the behaviour of the waves running along the forward side of the disrupting long-wave upper trough.
