Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon (GMT) on Tuesday. Issued
0453z, 30/04/10.

High pressure will be located to the west of the UK during the middle of the
week. A mixture of northerlies and NW'lies will result, with generally dry
conditions. The exceptions are likely to be the far north and possibly the
far SE.

ECM shows a ridge over the UK with a high to the west. Northerlies cover
England and Wales with WNW'lies elsewhere. Northerlies affect most areas on
day 6 as the high to the west persists, followed by further northerlies on
day 7.

MetO: http://www.wzkarten.de/pics/Rukm1201.gif
The UK lies under a ridge from the west. Northerlies cover England and Wales
with westerlies elsewhere. NW'lies cover the UK on day 6 as the ridge moves
southwards.

GFS: http://www.wzkarten.de/pics/Rtavn1201.png

English Channel.

Excepted from the dryness or the northerlies? Or both?

May not be that dry with showers always likely. Minor upper troughs even in
high pressure at this time of year can produce thunderstorms given some
local convergence.
