  1. ANYWEATHER, like the modern January -- 12C with a fresh northerly wind?
  2. I've just been perusing the latest Met. Office Ten Day Trend and the BBC's useless app and both look like crap. I've got a feeling that this won't be my last of the summer whines!
  3. I can still remember watching a massive Cb approaching from the north. It must have been April 1962, as Bro was not yet at school. But the thunder, lightning and hail were spectacular just after I got home. Well, when one was only 5, everything seemed spectacular!
  4. danm It's slow, it's painful, Dan. But potential improvements are afoot!
  5. jy Aye, Jy. . . Unlike the NHS, these privatised monopolies set their own budgets. And still, they can't do what they're supposed to.
  6. This week's Deep Dive is a tad more optimistic. I think!
  7. I think I erred, in going out yesterday wearing my Vitamin D shirt, thanks to the mozzies, I've now got horribly itchy lumps on my arms!
  8. Well, unless one has the hubris to overthrow all we know about thermodynamics (entropy always increases) there can be no doubt that human activity is responsible for a large part of global warming. And, yes China, India and the USA are responsible for most of that. . . So, the only question is: What do we do about it? I don't know the answer to that question. But pointing fingers is not the answer!
  9. Beer-drinkers beware: Climate change could soon affect the taste of beer, new study says - ABC News ABCNEWS.GO.COM Beer lovers beware: Climate change could soon make one of the world's favorite libations much more bitter.
  10. cheeky_monkey I remember playing tennis in the snow, April 11 was my first wedding anniversary.
  11. raz.org.rain Quite how anyone, let alone us amateurs, thinks they can predict how the summer will pan out is beyond me. . .
  12. Now, here's a fine example of what can be done: Orbital Retail Park to install 5,000 solar panels WWW.BBC.CO.UK Swindon Borough Council has approved the application from Orbital Retail Park Swindon Ltd.
  13. It's a sunny 18C here, just now! And, ironically, my boiler got mended today!
  14. I'll go for warm and wet, so long as said warm and wet doesn't come from endless drizzle!
  15. raz.org.rain I agree but, back in the Swinging Sixties, 22C/72F was about average for London. . . What's Cfb?
  16. raz.org.rain In the meantime, after nine months of almost constant rainfall, are we facing yet another summer of hosepipe bans? How much rain do we need for our water supplies to be secure -- four more years?
