Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Saturday. Issued
0538z, 5 September 2006.

The models show a generally settled outlook with temperatures near normal or
slightly above. High pressure looks set to move near or over Scandinavia,
with considerable differences between the models regarding the amount of
ridging towards the UK.

SE'lies and ESE'lies cover the UK, which lies between a high to the NE and a
low over the Celtic Sea. The low moves northwards and fills at T+144,
leaving the UK under southerlies. By day 7 a mixture of SE'lies and
southerlies covers the UK as high pressure builds over Scandinavia.

The Met Office run shows a high to the ENE of Scotland with SE'lies and
easterlies over the UK as a result. The high drifts slowly NE'wards at
T+144, leaving England and Wales under ESE'lies with SE'lies elsewhere.

The UK lies under high pressure with light winds. There's little change at

southern England and Wales with southerlies or SSW'lies for Northern Ireland
and Scotland.
