As you say, the met office site only goes up to 84 hrs (saturday) http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/surface_pressure.html, 

The ECMWF site ( http://www.ecmwf.int/products/forecasts/d/charts/medium/deterministic/) offers predictions for a further week and shows a low with pressure 985hPa over TF on Tuesday ending up in the north sea between GM/OZ/LA on Thursday 15th.  Is 985 particularly bad?  Wednesday looks a bit grim (Northern GM and Shetland excepted :-) 

Do you have a link to your "netherlands info"?

There is storm expected this weekend, they speak of force 9, but the super stormmessage  with winds above 200km per hour came from Britain and was said to be at the end of November, but meteorologists don't take this message very seriously.
