Hi All,
What a week's weather that was! So many stories in the media about what is causing the rain and I'll try to get a Weather Musing out next week to explain more. Hope that's okay and you don't mind waiting.

WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
==========================
Issued: 1700 Thursday 26th July 2007
FRIDAY ( http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+24.gif )
Complex area of low pressure to the north of Scotland today. A brisk westerly flow through most of the UK, although a shallow low is expected to run eastwards through the English Channel during the course of the evening.
A windy day across Scotland and northern England with showers, some of them heavy and frequent at times, especially in northern and western Scotland. For the rest of northern England, Ireland, Wales, central England and East Anglia there will be some sunny spells. Scattered showers may well develop, most of these on windward facing coasts and hills, so west Wales is particularly venerable.
For the far south of England, probably south of the M4 corridor, it will be largely dry through the morning with sunny spells. Increasing cloud may make the sunshine hazy and may bring some very light rain to southern counties in the afternoon.
The Channel Islands will have a period of more persistent rain through the afternoon, this not clearing until very late in the evening.
Winds mainly W-WSW 15-25kt (F5-F6) but perhaps gusting 35kt (F8) on western coasts of Scotland. Becoming cyclonic for a time in the Channel as the low passes through.
SATURDAY ( http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+48.gif )
A ridge of high pressure will be building from the west through Saturday, as low pressure clears to the northeast of Scotland. By the end of Saturday another area of low pressure will be approaching southwest Ireland with a warm front from southwest Ireland to southwest England.
Some showers for northeast Scotland at first, and windy here too. These should fade to leave a fair day, although showers may continue at anytime through Shetland and Orkney.
For Northern Ireland, most of England apart from the southwest and Wales, the day should be fair with some good spells of sunshine and lighter winds.
For southern Ireland and the far southwest of England cloud increases in the afternoon, rain into southwest Ireland after midday, and then into Cornwall by evening.
Winds will be NW 20-35kt (F6-F8) for a time through northeast Scotland, becoming mainly W 8-12kt (F3-F4) for much of England and Wales. Cyclonic 20-025kt (F6) over southern Ireland later.
SUNDAY ( http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+72.gif )
Some concern overnight into Sunday as low pressure crosses southern Ireland, Wales and southern England, with the possibility of a period of yet more rain in areas already affected by flooding. Watch the forecast carefully over the coming days if this affects you.
A period of rain for much of southern England, south Wales and southern Ireland Sunday morning, some of it heavy through counties south of Birmingham. Strong winds associated with this too. Eventually the rain clears into the North Sea, with brighter weather following from the west.
Most of Scotland and northern England, as well as northern Ireland and north Wales will have a fair day with sunny spells throughout.
Winds will be cyclonic 15-25kt (F5-F6) in the south, mainly NW 15-20kt (F4-F5) in the north.
