Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Monday. Issued 0515z,
21 September 2006.

The models are mixed today as the result of differences regarding ex-Helene.
MetO brings wet and windy weather for all, whereas ECM is much more settled.
At the moment it's looking like the north and west will see the wettest and
windiest weather, with the south and east seeing much less in the way of
rain. Temperatures will remain on the warm side.

SW'lies to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Elsewhere a ridge brings light
winds.
