Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Saturday. Issued
0543z, 11 July 06.

High pressure will be centred to the ENE during the weekend, with ENE'lies
or NE'lies likely over England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland will
see southerlies or SE'lies. Temperatures will be on the warm side for many
areas, especially sheltered western areas, whereas areas exposed to the wind
coming in from the North Sea will see temperatures several degrees lower.

A large high covers southern Norway and the North Sea, leading to easterlies
for England and Wales with southerlies elsewhere. The high declines and
moves NE'wards at T+144 with further easterlies for England and Wales.
Elsewhere winds become lighter SE'lies (Scotland) or near calm (Northern
Ireland). A new ridge builds to the west at T+168, bringing ENE'lies and
NE'lies for the UK.

respectively, with NE'lies across much of England and Wales. High pressure
persists over the North Sea at T+144, with ENE'lies for England and Wales as
a result; elsewhere winds are SE'lies.
