  1. They could not predict a pint in a pub. None of ofthem.Including the publicly funded Met Office. Useless and perhaps more useless than 10 years ago.
  2. They are probably panicked by the latest long term met office forecast which is pretty woeful it must be said, if its summer weather you are chasing. There will be a fair chunk of summer gone if that forecast is in anyway accurate. And that is what the models are showing.
  3. Great pic. Sky is a wonderful colour today to be fair. Oxshott a lovely place. I used to go dirt biking near there about 10 years ago. Doubt if the track still there. Knowle Hill think it was.
  4. Looks like we are going to have to wait some time yet for the rain here in the south east. 18.4c now in the capital. Could be a warm one. Turning out to be a dry warm and sunny week.
  5. True. Given the forecast last Thursday was for a few days of sunny spells and heavy showers, it's come to nought. Really really poor forecasting yet again. I think they should just use the same forecast for the SE England 365 days of the year: '' Mostly dry but with the risk of drizzle at times'' ' Risk' being their word not mine
  6. Nice drop of rain just now. Save me watering the allotment . Yeah!!
  7. No thank god! Imagine the tedium of that. I work on the tops of buildings alot, cooling tower maintenance, so relentless strong sun can be a pain in the harris.
  8. Nice to see some clouds building up today to relieve the tedium of endless blue skies and blazing sun. Hopefully some showers moving in later.
  9. Another good heavy shower coming through now. Ground soaking it up nicely. Will get some allotment digging done after work methinks, perfect weather for it. Another deluge forecast for tomorrow night but I'm not sure about that, they are not great at forecasting those fast evolving situations. Here's hoping.
  10. Some good beefy showers running through now. Nice top up of rain after yesterday's 13mm. No thunder and lightning yet but the much needed rain will do for now.
  11. Yes indeed. Its looking increasingly likely that next weeks drier spell will be shortlived. Met Eireann are saying it will be 'brief'. I'm expecting a major downgrade from Exeter in the next day or two. As expected.
  12. Great deluge here in the capital now, hopefully last a while. The ground and vegetation certainly needs it. Looking at the met office outlook it looks like after next week's brief dry spell there may be plenty more of this.
  13. Hopefully this is a pretty accurate prediction from GFS. We could do with several wet episodes like this, not sure if one or two wet days will be sufficient. We need several weeks of sustained rainfall.
  14. Cheers for the allotment tips about the spuds. Covered mine over a bit yesterday evening just in case. Probably won't get as cold here than when you are. I put my seedlings in the shed. Can't be bothered hawking them over and back to the house! We could do without the frost and could do with a good deluge of rain. Seriously dry now!!
  15. Great looking charts this morning. And about time too. We desperately need some rain down here.
  16. Big swing to much more unsettled weather for next 7-10 day now showing on the charts. Could be a sign of things to come for the summer. I feel its going to be a mixed and changeable one.
  17. Goodness me, they are starting to quote the express over on the MAD thread. Desperate times indeed.
  18. I work outside most of the time mate. Bit of rain and wind never done anyone any harm. Folk need to man up on here.
  19. Hopefully some proper weather on the way for weather enthusiasts to enjoy. Not endless boring blue skies and sunshine.
  20. Useless. These so called experts don't have a clue what's happening after next Wednesday. Yet the climate change 'experts' along with their crusty unwashed protester friends claim to know what's going to happen in 20 years time. LOL.
  21. Good topic. Here in SW London we have had 452mm in the last 12 months, that's about 77% of normal. Certainly another dry summer could cause a few problems. Soil very dry on the allotment.
  22. Aberdeen mate? You get about. Looking like a warm weekend coming up, nothing exceptional though.
  23. Very true mate. Another chapter. There has been some serious weeping and knashing of teeth over this. Actually doesn't look too bad to be honest. Now 11c and sunny in SW London.
  24. I know what you mean mate. Very dry down here too though we actually have a heavy shower passing through just now. Every little helps. Hopefully you ll get something wetter after next Monday.
