Summary valid for Sunday 04/06/06 to Saturday 10/06/06/
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 01/06/06 2030 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

Very high confidence that most of Britain will be dry this week with long spells
of sunshine. Gradually turning very warm and then locally hot in the south after
midweek with highest temperatures in the range 25-30 deg C. Winds mostly light
with sea breezes, moderate SW wind in Scotland and N.Ireland at times.

20% chance of isolated thundery showers on Sunday due to an upper air
disturbance.

40% chance of some rain and drizzle in NW Scotland on Tuesday and Wednesday.

60% chance of this fine weather turning into a prolonged dry spell lasting for
most of the following week, especially in southern Britain. 30% chance of a
thundery breakdown.

Prospects for haymaking:-

Chance of 4 consecutive days of dry weather at any one spot.

England and Wales 95% (Mon-Sat). N.Ireland 80% (Mon-Sat). Scotland 50%
(Mon-Sat).

EC's indicating the potential for a Spanish plume next weekend. If it comes
off it could make things very interesting for a certain motor-race in
Northamptonshire..

Either way I think we'll see 30°C breached next week.

Wait a minute, when I dared to mention this 3 days ago, I was laughed
at.

May I suggest you, and the Chief Forecaster at Haytor refer to this

Although I must say, I didnt find it too difficult. 564 thickness line
acoss the M4, early June, Spanish Plume; not really rocket science ;-)

Indeed, I remember it John, and I don't recall anyone particularly
laughing at you. (Chris' wry comment accepted in light of the depressed
temperatures over East Anglia at the time)

Glad to see you haven't lost your touch :-)

Yes-unfortunately I am coming back to Dorset next Sunday close to that
location after canoeing at Northampton and was considering both those
possibilities..
methinks if I go via the A422 and Buckingham then Bicester I will miss
the outflow from the latter!
