looks as though the bulk of the UK will see a settled spell in the middle of
next week.

ECMWF: http://64.246.48.81/pics/Recm1201.gif

at T+168.

England and Wales lie under a ridge, with SW'lies elsewhere. The ridge
builds over the UK at T+144 with westerlies for northern areas and
easterlies for southern areas.

GFS: http://64.246.48.81/pics/Rtavn1201.gif
Easterlies and SW'lies cover the UK, due to a ridge from the east. A new

winds for all at T+168.

The Canadian run shows light westerlies and SW'lies for much of the UK, with
high pressure to the south. A trough moves across Northern Ireland at T+144,
leading to SW'lies for most places.

JMA: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rjma1201.html
A ridge covers England and Wales, with SW'lies elsewhere. The winds become

of the same at T+168.
