High pressure (1030mb) lies over Southern Scandinavia and into Germany
and Poland, with another large high(1035mb) lying well to the
northeast over Siberia. Low pressure (1000mb) lies to the west of the
UK in the Atlantic. Winds across the UK are light to moderate
south/southeasterlies, lightest in the east. Many parts will be mostly
fine and dry. Temperatures will be close to or just above normal in
many parts. As we head through next week there is very little change,
so the UK lies under rather warm south/southeasterly winds with a good
deal of fine weather for most parts.
