WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
==========================
Issued: 0900 Thursday 15th February 2007
FRIDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn301.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+36.gif )
A southerly flow through the British Isles with low pressure centred in the Bay of Biscay. The front extending northwards through SW England, Wales and northern England will be edging slowly northwards through the day.
A damp day through much of western England, northern England and Wales, this rain extending into the south of Scotland. Low cloud and drizzle will be the order of the day with hill and coastal fog. Little change is expected.
For southeast England and East Anglia it should become brighter and drier during the day with visibility improving.
Ireland, northern and western parts of Scotland should also be drier and brighter. Sunny spells here and only a few showers with lighter winds.
The winds S-SE 12-18kt (F4 to F5) over eastern and southern England, 5-10kt (F3) through Scotland, variable 2-5kt (F2-F3) over Ireland.
SATURDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn541.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+60.gif )
The area of low pressure moves northwards into Saturday to be over southwest England. There is a threat of some strong winds surrounding the low, but at the moment these seem most likely to affect over the far west of the English Channel. A front extends noth from the low through SW England, Wales and will become weak through northern England.
Outbreaks of showery rain for most of Wales and southwest England today. Central and eastern areas should be drier and brighter, although northern England may have some rain and drizzle at first.
Rain also passing into the east of Ireland, most of it light but a threat of some heavier bursts here and there too. For Scotland the day should be dry with sunny spells throughout.
Winds will be generally S 5-10kt (F3) through England, cyclonic 15-25kt (f6) over southwest England, then variable 5-10kt (F2-F3) for much of northern England, Scotland and Ireland.
SUNDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn781.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+84.gif )
The low pressure area is forecast to be a weak feature in the Irish Sea through Sunday. High pressure building to the northeast of Scotland with a slack flow through most places.
Generally cloudy and damp close to the low over western parts of the UK and most of Ireland. Rather misty here too, with little change through the day.
Most of central and eastern England, together with Scotland will be brighter and drier. There is a threat of some fog patches in the morning.
Winds will be generally light and variable, around 5-12kt (F3) but may be a little stronger through Wales and western England.

It can be awful in the summer to. On a delivery of a 50Ft 1970's racing yacht from Argentina called Juanna, we made passage from Ibiza to Mahon in Menorca. Twas June, I believe. Anyway pics show me in minidress with mega suntan and white bleached hair from long tricks on the wheel while the 2 manful crew struggled with the b**tard main, reefing, shaking out reefs, reefing again and the thunderstorm spun round us, winds from a 2 to a 7 boxing the compass. Lasted several hours. But they do go sailing in June, don't they?
