Summary valid for Sunday 11/06/06 to Saturday 17/06/06/
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 08/06/06 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 continue to be very warm or even
hot next week. Temperature levels in the south could possibly reach 28-32 deg C
for a time. Generally in the range 25-30 deg C in the south but cooler (18-24
deg C) in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England for a while mid-week
as winds freshen from the west, but turning hot here again later.

60% chance that any one spot in Britain will see at least one thunderstorm next
week. 15% chance of those storms turning severe with damaging hail and a tornado
risk, Sunday to Tuesday is the most likely period for severe storms. After then
the risk decreases but is still there.

Not quite as sunny next week with a lot more cloud generally. More humid too,
making it sultry in some of the larger cities where night time temperatures
could remain high. Perhaps a lot of sea mist and low cloud in east coast areas
in beginning of week. Winds generally light but gusty in storms and sea breezes
on brighter days.

Prospects for haymaking:

Chance of 4 days completely dry weather at any one spot in England and Wales is
low at 20%. Scotland and Northern Ireland, a bit higher at 35%.
