Summary valid for Sunday 29/08/04 to Saturday 04/09/04
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 26/08/04 2000 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

Fairly high confidence that southern parts could have a mainly fine and dry week
under the influence of the Azores high but staying changeable in the north.

On Sunday a band of rain associated with a cold front will affect northern
England and northern Ireland and then move south during the day. The rain is
expected to become light and patchy in the south where some places could remain
bright and dry and fairly warm. North of the rain band it will become brighter
but with plenty of showers in a brisk northwesterly wind and rather cool.

On Monday southern areas will become fine and sunny and quite warm. Further
north it will be more cloudy, but after showers in the morning over Scotland
most places look like becoming dry with some sunshine.

The theme for the rest of the week is for southern England and south Wales to
stay mainly dry and bright and rather warm with only a moderate chance of patchy
rain. However, further north it will continue changeable with rain followed by
showers, especially after Wednesday. Quite windy at times too in the north with
the westerly wind strong at times and temperatures near normal.
