Hi everyone,

Many of you will know that I have posted this forecast on the Flyer forum for many years.

Several pilots have asked me why I don't post to PPRUNE, so today I thought I would. Is this something you would like me to put on here each week? If so, let me know, if not then I'll go away and just 'lurk'!

Feel free to ask me any weathery type questions (sorry I can't change the weather).

Best wishes,
Simon

WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST

Issued: 1500 Thursday 10th July 2008

SATURDAY:
Low pressure off southwest Norway at midday, extending its influence through the British Isles. However, notice how a ridge of high pressure is building through Ireland and this should bring us a better day on Sunday. An occluded front affecting eastern Scotland and northeast England, moving southwards through the North Sea.
Areas of rain and showers affecting the east of Scotland and northern England through the day, ringing moderate or poor visibility here.
For most other areas the day will be cool with broken cloud. There will be some showers, notably along the north coast of Wales, a few in the Midlands and a scattering of showers through southern England.
Winds W 10-15kt (F4) through southern England, NW 15-20kt (F5) over northern England and western Scotland, and NW-N 25-30kt (F6-F7) at times through eastern Scotland and northeast England.

SUNDAY:
A change taking place on Sunday as a ridge of high pressure builds through the British Isles. The effects of the occluded front over the southeast may still be being felt in the morning, but this weakening in the afternoon. A warm front approaches western Ireland later, moving steadily east.
So some early showers over southeast England. These will be clearing away. Most parts of the country will then have broken cloud and some sunny spells, but also mainly dry conditions. The sunny spells becoming more frequent into the afternoon. Most areas should be dry, although an odd shower is possible across the higher parts of Wales.
Increasing cloud bringing rain into Ireland in the afternoon and making the sunshine hazy in Wales and the west of England.
Winds will be mainly W 8-12kt (F3-F4), backing SW then S 12kt (F4) in the west.

Me too! Please every Friday :D

Although given the forecast I still can't decide if it's go/no-go for VFR on Saturday afternoon.
