UK meteorology

Malcolm's view part 1:
Today marks the abrupt end to a weather pattern that has persisted over the UK for quite a while now which, although bringing some very good weather to many, has not blessed everyone. Nothing unusual there and the transition to a more fluid regime probably will continue this regional bias. Anyway before some detail vis today just to emphasis that with today's low due to deepen as it passes to the north west even at this stage still some uncertainty regarding the specific area(s), and strengths, of the strongest winds.

After a relatively clear night with more cloud hanging around in western parts, it will be another warm day in Wales and England with the odd shower bubbling up in the south west and central areas but cloud and rain associated with the deepening low to the west will already be impacting N.Ireland and Scotland by midday. This will make inroads east and south during the rest of Wednesday with the winds also quickly picking up. Temps in England not too bad and favouring the east for a change.







The front and rain will continue to track south east overnight and during Thursday morning but it's this period with the complex deepening of the low to the north west that is causing some uncertainty but certainly areas in the north will briefly experience severe gales with gusts in the 70mph area, Once the front is away to the south east a westerly, cooler, and showery regime will be the order of the day.







 
Part 2:
By Friday the new pattern is well established with strong ridging in central Canada ( resulting in exceptional WAA) and a trough dominated Atlantic.For the UK it means a continuation of the shower westerly and temps nearer average but with a west/east bias. But out to the west the next, much less intense low, with associated fronts and rain is approaching western Ireland.





This shallow feature will move across the UK through Friday night/Saturday bringing with it some more concentrated periods of rain and a day of quite frequent, and likely quite heavy, showers in most areas



Sunday will tend to a drier and sunny day, temps maybe a tad above average, but still showers likely in central and eastern areas but fronts associated with the next Atlantic depression south east of Greenland are already bringing cloud and slight rain to western areas by evening.This will push east overnight but favouring the west and north
