Summary valid for Sunday 26/09/04 to Saturday 02/10/04
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 23/09/04 2100 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 turn dry and anticyclonic after a showery
start in the north.

On Sunday Scotland looks like being very windy with westerly gales in the north
as a deep low runs east across the Faeroes. There will be spells of rain too,
turning showery later. Northern England and northern Ireland could also see a
bit of rain, although in the shelter, NE England should see very little. Still
windy here. The rest of the UK should stay dry and quite bright, especially in
the south where it could turn warm in much lighter winds.

On Monday winds will turn northwesterly as the low runs away to the east. These
winds will still be strong at first but will slowly ease. Sunny intervals and
showers in the north, with still a few heavy showers. Mainly dry over southern
Britain with long sunny spells. Temperatures around normal.

For the rest of the week all areas should become mainly dry. A lot of cloud at
times but also some sunshine too. Temperatures around normal generally, but warm
in the south and parts of the east. Light winds and patchy fog at night. Little
frost though.

Towards the weekend there is a moderate chance of more wind and rain spreading
in from the west as the high weakens and Atlantic fronts encroach. Low
confidence of a stormy spell the following week.
