Summary valid for Sunday 12/09/04 to Saturday 18/09/04
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 09/09/04 2130 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

High confidence that next week will begin wet and windy in most places but
gradually turning drier and probably eventually warm and settled again in the
south.

On Sunday a developing Atlantic low will rush towards northern Ireland spreading
rain and strong winds to western and northern areas with gales near coasts and
over high ground. Eastern parts should start dry but rain will move in later in
the day. Temperatures still rather warm in the south but near normal in the
north.

On Monday the low will move across Scotland bringing rain to all areas followed
by squally showers, possibly with hail and thunder in the north. Turning colder
from the north during the day. Gales for a time in exposed places, but winds
should begin to ease later.

On Tuesday and Wednesday winds will swing into the northwest and decrease
further as the low fills and moves into the North sea. Temperatures will fall
but it will turn brighter in all areas with scattered showers. Southern areas
will probably turn mainly dry with sunshine on Wednesday.

After Wednesday moderate confidence that Wales, the Midlands and south will turn
warm and dry with sunny spells but further rain from more Atlantic fronts is
likely at times in northern England, Scotland and northern Ireland where
temperatures will remain near normal with moderate or fresh westerly winds.
