COOL, UNSETTLED WEATHER. MANY SHOWERS. A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT AT THE END
OF THE PERIOD. DRYEST IN THE EXTREME SOUTH-EAST:

The single chart for the period 1st to 10th November shows a deep
depression near Iceland stretching down towards N Scotland. High
pressure lies to the east and south-east of Britain and also to the SW
of the British Isles. A small secondary depression swings across the
southern half of Britain, suggesting that conditions are right for
small depressions to cross the country throughout the period. Winds
are generally south-west in the east of the country and west turning
north-west in the west of the country. The air is generally cooler to
the west of Ireland and this stretches into the mainland from the
west. Milder air generally covers the North Sea area. Generally
heavy rain is expected over N and NW Scotland with showers elsewhere
except the extreme SE of England where it will be dryer. The 500mb top.
shows generally W to SW winds over the country with a divergent field
in the south, suggesting small spin-off depressions in the south.

On 1st, cooler air crosses the country from the west. On 2nd, cooler
air still crosses the country in the north, but milder air enters the
southern half of the country and moves eastwards. As the mild air
moves eastwards on the 3rd, cooler air moves in towards west Ireland.
On the 4th and 5th, cooler air remains in the west of Ireland and
milder air covers the south-east of England. On 6th a blast of
cooler air enters the country from the west and spreads eastwards. On
the 7th, a small thrust of mild air into the south-west doesn't make
much headway northwards as it moves eastwards along the Channel by the
8th. Throughout the 7th and 8th, cooler air remains in the NW of the
country. On 9th, a new area of cool air comes into the NW of the
country with the mildest place in the extreme SE of England.

The run of weather starts on Mon. 1st with a depression coming into W
Scotland and its fronts coming into Wales and SW England. The rest of
the HP over the continent is just leaving SE England. Winds are SW in
the east of the country and W in the west. Rain showers in the N and W
of Scotland and further showers in the SW of the country. Strong
winds expected over W Scotland.
On Tues. 2nd, a depression stretches from W/E across Scotland with
a secondary depression near S Ireland and a possible disturbance off SE
England. Winds are variable but westerly in the north of the
country. Strongest winds in the west of Britain. Rain showers in
most parts. Possible heavy rain in the SE of England.
On Wed. 3rd, a complex area of LP covers Ireland and W Scotland
with a secondary depression near S Ireland moving into Wales. Winds
are mostly SW with the strongest winds in the W of Ireland and the E
of Scotland. Heavy rain expected over Scotland and the SW of England.
On Thurs.4th, a ridge of HP comes into England and SE Scotland
with LP to the W of Scotland. Winds are SW over central and western
areas, but light in the E and SE of the country. Rain showers
expected over north and north-west Scotland, mostly dry elsewhere with
the chance of frost and fog at night.
On Fri. 5th, the HP in the SE of England drifts away eastwards and
the LP to the NW of the country moves towards Scotland. Winds are SW
over most of the country, strongest in the NW of Scotland. Rain
showers cover most of the country but probably dry at first in the SE.
On Sat. 6th, a depression moves into W Scotland. Winds are SW
over the country, strongest in the W of Scotland. East and SE England
may be dry, but rain showers cover the northern areas with heaviest
rain to the W of Scotland.
On Sun. 7th, an area of LP lies to the N of Scotland and a
secondary depression moves towards S Ireland. Another small
depression moves towards France from the Channel. Winds are
generally W to SW, strongest in the W of the country. Showers cover
much of the country. Heavy showers in the SE of England.
On Mon. 8th, HP builds up to the W of Ireland and moves eastwards
LP lies to the N and NE of Scotland and a secondary depression leaves
the Channel towards France. A further disturbance could be near
Ireland. Winds are generally W, strongest in the SW of the country
but also strong in the E and W of Scotland.
On Tues. 9th, HP builds up in the SW of the country and spreads
ENE. LP lies to the NW and W of Scotland. Winds are light, W in
the north and E in the south. Rain showers expected in the north, fog
and frost in central and southern districts.
On Wed. 10th, LP lies to the NW of the country and HP covers the
south and south-east areas of England. A small secondary may develop
over Ireland and spread ENE into the mainland. Winds are south-west,
strongest in the NW of the country. Rain showers in the north and west
of Britain. Fog and frost possible in the SE.
