Summary valid for Sunday 18/06/06 to Saturday 24/06/06/
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 15/06/06 0900 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

For Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England high confidence (80%) that
the week will be changeable with rain at times and sunny intervals. Temperatures
near average (15C-20C) but occasionally cool in moderate to fresh SW to NW
winds.

Rest of England and Wales, moderate confidence (60%) for a mainly dry week with
high pressure close by. Some rain, but mostly showery with spells of sunshine.
Warm at times with temperatures 20C-25C, warmest in the SE where 27C is possible
on the odd day. Thunderstorms persisting on the near continent and 20% chance
that these could affect the SE at times later in the week. Winds generally light
with sea breezes.

Prospects for haymaking:

Chance of 4 days completely dry weather at any one spot in England and Wales is
low at 30%. Scotland and Northern Ireland - zero.

It's a brave man who ever uses 0% or 100% probabilities in connection
with the British weather.

Yes but at least it gives as a reasonable likelihood and is realistic in
predictions, unlike forecasters who predict something is going to happen and
when it doesnt completely ignore the fact that it hasnt.
