Weather for the coming week, issued on Saturday 3rd March 2012

Features:	The coming week will be dominated by high pressure; settled, dry, and often sunny. The high pressure is currently centred just to our south but will move right over us as today progresses and will stay there till the middle of the week. It will then drift slowly eastwards and low pressure will approach us from the north west right at the end of the week.
Precipitation:	Today will be mainly dry but there is a small risk of a little patchy light drizzle through till the mid afternoon when it will become dry. Tomorrow (Sunday) will be dry all day. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry all day with a lot of sun. Thursday and Friday look like seeing the return of rain.
Wind:	Today it will be westerly, light (average 4-7 MPH), veering north westerly this evening. Tomorrow it will be south westerly, light (average 4-7 MPH), veering northerly in the late evening.

Update on Sunday 11th March 2012
Features:	High pressure is now centred over us and will stay there till the middle of the week. It will then drift eastwards, allowing low pressure to move over the north of the UK.
Precipitation:	Today, tomorrow, Tuesday, and Wednesday it will be dry with frequent sunny periods. Thursday should be dry in the morning with light rain starting in the afternoon. Friday looks likely to be similar to Thursday, with a dry morning and light rain in the afternoon and evening.
Wind:	As we are at the centre of the high pressure, the wind is extremely light to calm and is moving in very small circles. It is therefore difficult to predict precise directions but I will try my best. Today it will be north westerly, light (average 4-7 MPH), veering northerly during the morning. Tomorrow it will be south easterly, light (average 4-7 MPH), veering southerly around midday, then south westerly during the afternoon and becoming calm in the evening.

Update on Monday 12th March 2012
Features:	The high pressure is still centred over us and is set to start drifting eastwards on Wednesday. This will then allow low pressure to move closer to us and there is sign of low pressure forming over us at the weekend.
Precipitation:	Today, tomorrow, and Wednesday will be dry with long sunny periods. Thursday should remain dry but with a little more cloud. Friday should be dry in the morning but a band of light rain should move in from the north west during the afternoon and evening.
Wind:	Today it will be calm to light (average 4-7 MPH) but could be from any direction as it constantly changes throughout the day. Tomorrow will be the same as today.

Update on Tuesday 13th March 2012
Features:	Today the high pressure remains centred over us. Tomorrow it starts to drift eastwards, allowing the edge of a low pressure area, centred to the north of the UK, to move down across the UK. That low is likely to reach us by the weekend.
Precipitation:	Today, tomorrow, and Thursday will be dry with good sunny periods. Friday will be dry in the morning but a band of light rain will move across us, from the north west, in the afternoon, dying out during the evening.

Update on Wednesday 14th March 2012
Features:	The centre of the high pressure over us is now just to our east and will continue to move eastwards to be over mainland Europe. A low pressure area, centred to our north west, will start moving south over the UK and the southern edge should just touch us on Friday. However, a new high pressure is developing to our south west, over the Azores, and this will eventually push the low out of the way and we will return to high pressure.
Precipitation:	Today and tomorrow (Thursday) will remain dry and will still have some sunny periods, although less than in recent days. Friday, after a little light rain overnight, will have some patchy light rain in the morning, rain in the early afternoon, light rain in the late afternoon, then becoming dry for the evening. Saturday should have light showers in the morning, heavy showers in the afternoon and a few light snow showers in the evening. Sunday should be dry all day.
Wind:	Today it will be south easterly, light (average 4-7 MPH), all day. Tomorrow it will be south easterly, light (average 4-7 MPH), veering south westerly by midday, increasing to gentle breeze (average 8-12 MPH) in the mid afternoon and decreasing back to light (average 4-7 MPH) in the evening.
Temperature:	Approximate expected temperature (Day) Approximate expected temperature (Night) Today 13C 3C Tomorrow 12C 5C Friday 9C 2C
Update on Thursday 15th March 2012
Features:	Today we still just have high pressure, with the centre moving further eastwards. The edge of the low centred to our north east moves south across the UK tomorrow and the boundary between the two pressure areas, known as a col, will be over us. We should have mainly low pressure over the weekend as a new area of high pressure builds to our south west, over the Azores and that then pushes the low pressure out of the way next week.
Precipitation:	Today should remain dry although there is a very small risk of a little patchy rain in the early afternoon. Tomorrow (Friday) will have light rain all day. Saturday will have light showers in the late morning and heavier showers in the afternoon. The expectation of snow in the evening has now receded and the evening should now be dry. Sunday should remain dry all day. Monday should remain dry all day although there is a small risk of a little light rain in the afternoon.
Wind:	Today it will be south easterly, light (average 4-7 MPH), veering south westerly around midday, increasing to gentle breeze (average 8-12 MPH) in the mid afternoon, and decreasing to light (average 4-7 MPH) in the evening. Tomorrow it will start south westerly, light (average 4-7 MPH), increasing to 10 in the mid morning, increasing further to moderate breeze (average 13-18 MPH) around midday, and decreasing to gentle breeze (average 8-12 MPH) in the evening.

Update on Friday 16th March 2012
Features:	We still have high pressure today; just. An area of low pressure, centred to the north east of the UK, is pushing down across the UK and will be over north Wales today.

This evening a cold front will cross us from the north west.
