Hi All,
The daffodils are out and there is the merest hint that spring is just around the corner. No, this is not Garderners World, but it does make you feel good doesn't it?
I am pleased to say that the Sailors Weather Book is now completed in draft form. There are a few cporrections and illustrations to finish off, but it should be available soon. Thanks to all of you for your patience whilst I undertook this project.
If your friends want to receive this forecast all they need do is send an email to sailingweather-subscribe@weather.net
Have good one,
Simon
WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
==========================
Issued: 0900 Thursday 22nd February 2007
FRIDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn301.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+36.gif )
Low pressure to the west of Ireland bringing unsettled weather to all parts of the UK and Ireland throughout the day. Troughs rotating around the low, mainly affecting southern parts of the country.
So, an unsettled day with frequent, heavy showers. These merging into longer periods of rain at times, and these affecting all areas. The most frequent of the rain and showers will always be affecting more western parts of the country.
There is a chance of some drier weather through Scotland, with the east and north fairing best of all.
Winds will be mainly SE-S 15-20kt (F4-F5) but S-SW 20-25kt (F5 gust F6) in the far southwest and through the Irish Sea.
SATURDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn541.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+60.gif )
The low drifts a little further north on Saturday to be west of Scotland. A trough passes eastwards overnight with an occluded front expected from southern Ireland the southwest England by the afternoon.
Heavy showers through the morning in Scotland and northern England, but these tending to fade as the trough responsible moves into the North Sea. A drier interlude then follows from the west for much of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Wetter conditions will be returning to southwest Ireland and southwest England as the occluded front moves in, with the front and rain then pushing eastwards in the afternoon and evening, probably reaching northern England, the Midlands and southern England by the evening.
Winds will be SW 15kt (F4) increasing 15-20kt (F5) in southern Ireland, SW England and south Wales later.
SUNDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn781.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+84.gif )
Low pressure in the North Sea on Sunday bringing a change of conditions. A colder, Polar maritime airmass will be sinking southwards through all parts of the UK and Ireland, with troughs pushing south too. An occluded front may affect southern parts of England at first.
A wet start to the day is likely in the far south, this rain turning more showery as one heads into the Midlands, Wales and northern England. The showers could become heavy at times as they sweep southwards.
Less showers for Ireland and Scotland with more sunny spells here, although showers always tending to affect the west and north of Scotland. The showers could be wintry over northern hills.
Winds becoming NW 10-15kt (F3-F4) but as high as 20kt (F5) in the west, perhaps W-NW 20 gust 30kt (F6-F7) in southern Ireland and the far southwest of England.
