================================================== ===============

This forecast summary is my *PERSONAL OPINION* of how the weather may unfold
next week. I will take no responsibility whatsoever for any actions arising from
its use. It is provided freely in the spirit of freedom and the great love for
meteorology that I personally enjoy and wish to share freely with others.

================================================== ===============


Summary valid for Sunday 14/09/03 to Saturday 19/09/03
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 11/09/03 2030 UK local time This summary is based
on a quick appraisal of the GFS, JMA, ECMWF, UKMO, FAX, and ENS (NCEP ensemble)
labelled charts available from the superb http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten

The first few days of next week look like remaining fine and very warm over most
of England and Wales as high pressure again becomes established. However,
northern England, Scotland and northern Ireland will be more changeable with
rain at times. Windy too in the NW with gales associated with depressions near
Iceland, but temperatures remaining above average in west to southwest winds.
Midweek onwards, western and northern UK will see rain edging slowly east and
turning heavy. The east and especially the SE could stay dry till the end of the
week, but next weekend there is a good chance of heavy rain spreading to all
areas, heralding a major change in the weather. Confidence high till midweek
then becomes low.

Cheers,

Will.

An Indian summer, you mean? How warm are we expecting - any chance of
boosting my 25.7C September record?

You can rely on Highs to do what they are expected to do, but not Lows,
in other words.

Come to think of it, Highs are very much like couch potatoes - they just
sit there doing sod all, and only move with the greatest reluctance!
