many apologies, there were two posted for today I simply read them both thinking one was today and the other that from yeaterday-wrong-so I apologise-must read more carefully next time!

i did exactly the same when i went back to read it again - i thought i was beginning to lose control.

So Nick, that would suggest blocking where - to our northwest?

UK Outlook for Wednesday 29 Feb 2012 to Wednesday 14 Mar 2012:

The end of February and first part of March are likely to see changeable weather. Temperatures are probably going to be around average for the time of year. Being late February/early March, this suggests that overnight frosts are still likely almost anywhere, especially during any quieter interludes. Showers and longer spells of rain are possible, with an ongoing risk of transient snow, mainly in the north. Rainfall amounts across southern and central England may end up being slightly above average in places by the end of this period.

UK Outlook for Friday 2 Mar 2012 to Friday 16 Mar 2012:

Some signs of a quieter, more settled spell of weather for a time during the first few days of March, but conditions are then likely to become more unsettled. Temperatures are probably going to be around average for the time of year, and being early March this suggests that overnight frosts are likely at times. As conditions turn more unsettled showers or longer periods of rain are expected to become more prevalent, perhaps with some transient snow, this most likely in the north. Rainfall amounts over the period as a whole are likely to be near average across the UK, though confidence in this aspect is not high.

UK Outlook for Saturday 3 Mar 2012 to Saturday 17 Mar 2012:

During early to mid March, daytime maximum temperatures are likely to above average in northern areas. Some colder spells are likely during this period, with a small probability of being well below. Nighttime minimum temperatures follow a similar pattern, with mild nights most likely, occasionally some cooler ones, and some chance of it being rather cold. Further south, temperatures more likely to be around average, or perhaps slightly above, both by day and by night. Rainfall amounts look likely to continue being below average in eastern areas, particularly in the east of Scotland, but elsewhere average rainfall is most likely. Sunshine amounts should be above average in all areas.

UK Outlook for Sunday 4 Mar 2012 to Sunday 18 Mar 2012:

During early to mid March, daytime temperatures may start off below normal across some northern areas, bringing an increased risk of some wintry weather. However, a recovery to near or above normal values seems likely. Nighttime temperatures follow a similar pattern, with frosts perhaps most likely at first. Further south, temperatures more likely to be around average, or perhaps slightly above, both by day and by night. Rainfall amounts look likely to continue being below average in eastern and perhaps southern areas, particularly in the east of Scotland, but elsewhere average rainfall is most likely. Sunshine amounts should be above average in all areas.

UK Outlook for Thursday 8 Mar 2012 to Thursday 22 Mar 2012:

Northern and some western parts of the UK are expected to continue to be affected by spells of unsettled weather. As such, rainfall amounts here are likely to be near average with temperatures often near normal or mild for the time of year. Elsewhere, conditions will tend to be more settled so rainfall amounts look likely to continue below average, especially in eastern and southern Britain, whilst temperatures are most likely to be close or just above average by day and near or just below average by night, leading to a risk of frost. Sunshine amounts should be above average in all areas.
