================================================== ===============
This forecast summary is my *PERSONAL OPINION* of how the weather may unfold next week. I will take no responsibility whatsoever for any actions arising from its use. It is provided freely in the spirit of freedom and the great love for meteorology that I personally enjoy and wish to share freely with others. ================================================== =============== Summary valid for Sunday 05/12/04 to Saturday 11/12/04 TOI (time of issue) Thursday 02/12/04 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 Confidence high that next week will gradually see a change to very unsettled, wet, and at times, very mild conditions in all areas. However, confidence only low to moderate for the details of the change, but reasonably confident of the sequence. A ridge of high pressure should ensure a fine day in most places on Sunday. Mild in freshening west to southwest winds which will become strong in the north. Possibly exceptionally mild in parts of eastern England and eastern Scotland with temperatures perhaps reaching 14 or 15 deg C. Rain from a warm front is likely to spread into western Scotland and northern Ireland later in the day. On Monday a very deep low will be running to the north of Scotland giving westerly gales and possibly storm force winds for a time in the northern Isles. Scotland and northern Ireland will have rain followed by squally showers. Some rain further south over England and Wales but southern Britain likely to stay dry, rather cloudy and mild in moderate west to southwest winds. Tuesday looks like being another fine day in most places, but possibly rain spreading into western areas later. Generally mild with winds easing. Wednesday is the day that significant rain is likely to spread into southern Britain from yet another Atlantic low. All other areas seeing rain too. Turning colder later as winds swing into the northwest bringing showers which will possibly turn wintry over northern hills. A fine and cold start to Thursday with more showers in places exposed to the northwest. Possibly a frost in sheltered southern and eastern parts. However, more rain is likely to spread back in from the west in strengthening southwest winds from another deepening Atlantic low. Turning milder again. On Friday there is a low risk of a major storm crossing the UK. More likely though, is another ordinary depression followed again by a return to colder weather on Saturday in north to northwest winds with showers turning wintry on northern hills. This then sets the scene, until at least the third week, of a generally westerly pattern with spells of mild, wet and windy weather followed by short colder northerly interludes with wintry showers over high ground. Always a risk as well of major storms crossing Britain with the jet stream sinking south with time.
