Summary valid for Sunday 06/11/05 to Saturday 12/11/05
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 03/11/05 2100 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 next week will be changeable with plenty of rain in all
areas.

Well it looks like fine weather is at a premium and the fine weather weather
window I predicted for Saturday 5th will be for daylight hours in the east only.
Ah well ! It was predicted with low confidence after all.

I'm not going to go into much detail for next week as the situation is such that
timings could be well out. However, on Sunday we will see a band of rain working
its way east across the UK followed by showers. Temperatures close to normal
with fresh to strong SW winds.

On Monday a new vigorous low looks like bringing gales to northern areas and
plenty of rain and wind to all other areas. Temperatures around normal.

The rest of the week is changeable with spells of rain alternating with drier
interludes. Gradually turning colder in the north with some snow over the
Scottish mountains. Generally temperatures close to normal but occasionally mild
at times, especially in the south. Winds generally moderate to fresh
occasionally strong mainly SW to W in direction.

It goes without saying that there is a risk of flooding in the west and north
during the week as some of the rainfall will be heavy.

Outlook for the following week with moderate confidence is for more rain and
wind but turning colder in the north with some snow over hills. Chance of some
longer drier interludes in the south. No sign yet of any really cold weather.

Now where did I put that bottle of gin :-)
Yes the wet weather has finally got to me :-)
