Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for 12z on Monday. Issued 0544z,
20/10/05.

The models show low pressure dominating the UK for the first half of next
week with a trough moving slowly northwards. Rain is likely in all areas as
the trough moves through and temperatures should be a fair bit milder than
average.

ECMWF: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Recm1201.gif
SE'lies cover much of the UK due to a trough over the Midlands and Wales. To
the south, winds are SW'lies. The trough deepens over Scotland at T+144,
bringing SW'lies and westerlies elsewhere. There's little change at T+168 as
the trough persists over Scotland.

MetO: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Rukm1201.gif
MetO shows a weak ridge bringing westerlies to England and Wales. Northern
Ireland lies under SW'lies, while a col covers Scotland. By T+144 a low
deepens to the west, leading to strong to gale force southerlies and SW'lies
over the UK.

GFS: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Rtavn1201.gif
SW'lies and SSW'lies cover the UK due to a deep low to the WNW and a high to
the east. There's little change at T+144 or T+68, with low pressure
remaining to the west.

to Scotland and SW'lies elsewhere.

Scotland is the exception, with SE'lies.

Low pressure covers the North Sea, leading to NE'lies for most areas. High
pressure then moves SE'wards over the UK at T+144, leading to SE'lies for
Northern Ireland with northerlies elsewhere.
