WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST

Issued: 1700 Wednesday 25th June 2008


SATURDAY:
A brisk west to southwest flow through the country for Saturday. Low pressure is going to be to the west of Scotland and a cold front will be edging slowly eastwards through the Midlands, Wales and into southern England.

The cold front probably has some showery rain on it in the morning but this is going to be fading away. More persistent rain associated with the colluded front across northern parts of Scotland.

Elsewhere it is a case of rather a lot of cloud for many of us and plenty of dry weather around. There will be a few showers forming through central parts of Ireland and a few drifting into southwest Scotland as well.

The winds are likely to be the main feature of the weather though, being SW’ly everywhere, 15-20kt (F5-F6) through most places, but perhaps a25-30kt (F7) across western Ireland and southwest Scotland.


SUNDAY:
On Sunday the southwest flow is likely to be persisting. There will be an occluded front over northern Scotland, this moving slowly southwards. A developing low may form to the west of Scotland in the afternoon, this pushing a trough eastwards through Ireland into the afternoon. This is one to watch in the forecast over the coming days as this feature could arrive more quickly than currently predicted. The overall flow is likely to be more moist on Sunday and so the risk of showers is increased.
I think that there will be showers over western Scotland, northwest England, Wales and eastern Ireland from early on Sunday morning. For more central and eastern areas it should be dry, but it won’t be long before the showers move in. These probably being light to moderate overall and lasting into the afternoon. The far southeast of England could stay dry.
An area of heavier showers and more persistent rain, as well as stronger winds, could drift into southwest Ireland later.
Winds will be SW 12-16kt (F4-F5) for most, increasing to a SW 25-30kt (F7) over southwest Ireland in the afternoon.

Thanks Simon.

Any sign of an end to this series of deepish Lows tracking in? Is it a jetstream thing?

Bring back May!

Heyup, I was wondering when the weather was going to improve been hanging about in Lancashire waiting for it to improve before I come up to the boat.

Was all ready for coming up for a week or to last Monday but decided the week woulda been a sitting waiting for the weather to improve in Ardfern.

Is it really as bad as it looks on't forecast or Sound o Mull webcam
We can't change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.

Doesn't look great I am afraid chaps. This weekend is looking dodgy too.

We are going to the middle of the month before any real improvement and then only a slow one thereafter.

For those who are interested, August shouldn't be too bad a month but September looks best of all. Yes, I know, I may be forced to eat these words!!!
