A ridge covers Ireland, bringing NW'lies to England, Wales and SE Scotland.
Elsewhere winds are WSW'lies, but by T+144 they fall light as a ridge
declines over the UK. There's little change for most at T+168, although a
NE'ly breeze picks up over the far south of England.

Light winds cover England and Wales due to high pressure. Scotland and
Northern Ireland are affected by SW'lies.

eastern England. Winds are NW'lies for many areas, with variable winds for
eastern places.
