As an aside, I sometimes wonder if there might be a period in spring where Nly to Ely becomes the prevailing wind for a time in the S/SE of the UK. No idea if the facts bear that out or not.
The facts do indeed support that view. In Eastern Scotland we see a lot of E / NE wind in spring up to June. (See the climate pages on the UK Met Office website) This is apparently something to do with high pressure over Scandinavia. Maybe Simon the weather bloke will come along and tell us more?

Well Simon? What do yer reckon?
