Will late Dec - Jan see an Easterly

The big question for gas supplies is whether we have an Easterly from the day after Boxing day or not. At the time of writing temperatures below -10C will be above the country (at a pressure height of 850 hectoPascals).

The Christmas week tends to have lower gas consumption because people are on holiday. I would not expect any problems during that week.

January, however, is the coldest month. Some people are predicting a 1987 equivalent winter.
