Summary

Overview

High pressure sitting in the Atlantic drives a moderate NW'ly flow.

Wind

The prevailing wind is a moderate NW'ly flow, as the temperature increases, the sea breeze is likely to suppress the gradient before filling in from the SW.

*** UPDATE: The layer of stratocumulus is acting as a lid and inhibiting temperature rise and convection. Therefore, I now believe it is very unlikely that a sea-breeze will develop. ***

Outlook

On Saturday, another low pressure pushes E across the UK brings strong wind and rain.
