Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Friday. Issued 0519z,
26 June 06.

The models continue to show high pressure to the NE to end the week with
southerlies or SE'lies likely across the UK. There are considerable
differences regarding the outlook though, with the GFS bringing some heavy
rain across the UK and the ECM keeping things drier. It looks like turning
increasingly warm, if not hot, across parts of England, although western
areas may see more in the way of cloud due to the low to the west. As ever,
more runs are needed.

ECMWF: http://85.214.49.20/pics/Recm1201.gif
SSE'lies cover the UK with high pressure to the ENE. Winds fall light due to
a col on day 6 and by day 7 a ridge to the west brings northerlies over
Northern Ireland and Scotland, with light winds elsewhere.

MetO: http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rukm1201.gif
The MetO run shows a large high over Scandinavia and a mixture of westerlies
and SE'lies for the UK. A col covers England and Wales at T+144 with SE'lies
elsewhere.

GFS: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Rtavn1201.png
High pressure is centred over southern Scandinavia, leading to easterlies
across England and Wales with SE'lies elsewhere. A trough moves across
England and Wales at T+144 with SE'lies in advance and NW'lies following
behind. By day 7 much of the UK lies under a col with light winds.

Winds are SW'lies for all as a result.

NOGAPS: http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rngp1201.gif
Complex low pressure lies to the west and NW with southerlies as a result.
The southerlies strengthen at T+144 as the lows merge and deepen to the
west.
