Very mild or warm, some sunshine, rain more likely in west and north although eventually another rain event for most of the country, highs 18-23 C. FURTHER OUTLOOK ... In general, somewhat cooler for a few days especially across the north but staying close to normal or a bit above, then warming back into high teens by mid-October. Forecasts for Britain In general, the same pattern will prevail, but at first, the rain predicted for Ireland will affect mainly western parts of Britain and much of Scotland. Later this week, heavier rainfalls will spread across eastern regions as well. Temperatures will be similar and warmer than average by 2-4 C deg. Forecasts for North America Warm and sunny in most of eastern North America and some parts of the central U.S. although rain is slowly spreading northeast from the central Gulf coast. This system will eventually lead to some heavy rainfalls in the Midwest by later this week. Meanwhile, it continues cool, unsettled and windy across most of the west, with snow over higher terrain. My local weather on Tuesday was generally quite grim with rain, fog and occasional brighter intervals but as much as 30 mm of rain in total, highs near 13 C. Where I was last week (Ottawa and later Toronto) it was sunny and 24 C. -- Peter for IWO
