Hello again,
Doesn’t it feel like autumn? Yes, the sun is shining but there is a definite ‘nip’ in the air.
SWIS forecasts will be issued throughout the weekend, and you can view them at http://www.sailingweather.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. If you can spread the word about these forecasts, and keep your feedback coming, it will help me build a better service. For those of you not covered by SWIS, my apologies, I’m getting to you as fast as I can.
For those who may be travelling further afield this winter I have just released a new section of the SWIS website which contains 5-day synoptic and wind charts for the route from Spain/Portugal to the Canaries/Madeira. To view them go to the SWIS site at http://www.sailingweather.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; And I
If you want to know more about the weather and how it works, why not take a look at my books and DVD.

I have 4-places remaining on this course and it would be good to see you there. For more information see http://www.weatherschool.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
Issued: 0900 Friday 3rd September 2010
SATURDAY:
High pressure to the east of the country remains in control of conditions through today. Low pressure to the west of Ireland is trying to make progress eastwards, and will succeed in pushing a weakening occluded front into Wales and southwest England, although the main feature will be following from the west, through Ireland.
It is going to be a fair day over most of England and Scotland as well as eastern Wales. There will be some morning mist or fog patches inland, but these are soon going to be burning away and then the morning should be fair with sunny spells. Little change into the afternoon, although there will be a more noticeable breeze developing along eastern coasts. Visibility moderate to good.
Further west after a fair start cloud is going to be increasing and this is going to be bringing some outbreaks of light rain to northwest Wales, Northern Ireland and southwest Scotland. Visibility reducing to moderate here.
The winds mainly SE 7-10kt (F2-F3) but becoming SE 17-23kt (F5-F6) along eastern coasts later, and S 15-19kt (F5) for western Scotland and for a time in the Irish Sea.
SUNDAY:
The area of high pressure gets pushed a little further east today, with low pressure to the west making more progress eastwards. The occluded front is again weakening as it reaches the west of the country.
Overall a cloudier day that on Saturday. There will be mainly fair conditions for much of England, eastern Wales and eastern parts of Scotland. Remaining fairly hazy here with moderate visibility.
Thicker cloud in the west, associated with the occluded front may be able to produce a few spots of rain over high ground in southwest England and Wales. This precipitation may be more persistent for a time in western Scotland, although will tend to be fading here.
Basically a day in which high pressure is in its final throes with the east being best.
Winds are SE 12-16kt (F4) but increasing 20-26kt (F6) along eastern coasts of Scotland and England, and then S 20-28kt (F6) through Ireland later. Mainly S-SE 13-17kt (F4-F5) in the Irish Sea.
