On Thursday and the prediction on all e main models is for a fairly active weather system to run in from the south west. Obviously its track a few days out is not set in stone but somewhere over the middle of the country, probably a little way north of this area.Lots of cloud, very little sunshine today, with some strongish winds also along with spells of rain, heavy at times. There are indications that getting on for one inch of rain may fall over parts of this area. I suspect I’ll need to do an update on the weather for Thursday during Wednesday.Temperatures ranging from a rather muggy low of 13C to 16-17C possibly 19C if we do get any cloud breaks Friday sees a much better day as the clears away, sunshine at times with just one or two light showers but many places look likely to stay dry. Less wind as well with temperatures 10 to 19C Into the weekend and this far out and the 3 models all suggest a flow from a direction north of west. One has a lot of showers the other two less so and with temperatures at about the average for the end of August but more on the BH weekend on Thursday. apologies for the varying text and I'm afraid no charts-I simply am not up to it today-sorry for the video to go with the charts, please scroll down to the box below- click and then move your mouse over the charts as I go through the weather day by day for further ahead then try the link below. It gives a very broad brush treatment to whether it will be dry/wet/windy/warm or cold. So far I have had reasonable success with it since I started doing it in late January 2008. Its giving a reasonable return with about 70% accuracy at first decreasing to just over 60% by the end of the period, usually 16-18 days ahead.Not bad for the time scales involved. It does give a decent idea of will it be warmer or colder than usual, wetter or drier. http://www.netweather.tv/forum/index.php?showtopic=47443&st=51 NetWeather data feed this is the link for the Net Weather data feed it is a 3 day forecast
