As usual on a Sunday I'm off to the wolf centre soon, hence this shorter
analysis.

The models show that the further south and east you are, the drier and
hotter it will be towards the weekend.

Quick summary for noon (GMT) on Thursday - isssed 0539z 12/06/05
ECM: http://64.246.48.81/pics/Recm1201.gif
SW'lies cover the UK, with high pressure over Biscay and a low to the west.
The low moves NE'wards at T+144, as does the high, leading to further
SW'lies for the UK.

Strong SW'lies cover the UK, which lies between a low to the west and a high
to the south and east. The high moves over England and Wales at T+144, with
SW'lies elsewhere.

SSW'lies and SW'lies cover the UK, due to a high over France and a deep low
to the west. The low moves away to the north at T+144, leaving the UK mostly
under SSW'lies. The exception is SE England, which lies under easterlies.
GEM: http://64.246.48.81/pics/Rgem1201.gif
GEM shows a low to the west and strong SW'lies for all. The winds become
SSW'lies at T+144 as the low moves northwards.

The German run salso shows SW'lies, this time with a trough over the Irish
Sea. By T+144 pressure rises over the English Channel, with westerlies and
SW'lies for the UK.
