When is it going to stop... Raining

[si_c]

The Costa Clyde has ..........
Sunny, blue skies!!: .
Still an annoyingly strong "breeze" and "cool" temperatures, as the BBC (in their efforts to avoid using any language that might sound like negativity) insists on calling what is actually cold and windy.

Same here, pure blue no clouds anywhere. I might finish early and go for a quick ride.

So ... 11 pages ...

Is it too soon (or simply not permitted on this site) to suggest that this may be a departure from typical UK weather patterns? Or do we need more data?

I was just wondering how bad is this going to get in the future as its certainly heading in a non cycle friendly direction.

Might also be worth asking farmers (even non-cycling ones!)

I have been around farmers for a long time, yet despite this their often displayed lack of knowledge continues to amaze me.

How intelligent farmers cope with their neighbours I do not know. Its not like you can just pack up and leave.

Some do get a bit fed up with them...

Sorry London - this big red splodge of heavy hail is on its way:

Current view in Clacton, where it's been alternating between glorious sunshine and chucking it down every half hour or so. Bit like NE England, only the wind isn't as cold and the accents are weirder.

Well, it stopped raining here in Glasgow.
Not sure if it did rain while I was on shift, don't have windows.
According to the weather app, there should be a frost tonight

My experience has been very different, as most keep meticulous records the met office would be envious off regarding yearly weather data.

Its funny, but it is a real issue for some.

I get on very well with my neighbour, he's a very nice guy but he can't stop himself moaning about the cattle in the field behind us. The farmer is a very nice guy and has been here all his life like his father before him, and he has to listen to the complaints. I am right in the middle of both of them and whilst my sympathies are with the farmers because of the reasons in the sign above, I'm determined to remain like Switzerland.

Got rain, hailed and sunshined on the commute home.

It shall be fine weather from Thursday to at least Sunday, I'm camping.

Or it may not !

I hope so. I am supposed to be doing a Sealed Knot event in Herefordshire - and our regiment are the organisers.

As long as it stays dry whilst I walk to the bus in a few minutes, that'll do for a start.

What is this "bus" device you speak of? Is it some transitory product of a fevered imagination?
Or is it a like a disease you can catch?
I recall the ancients speaking of catching a bus. I never quite understood what that meant.

How I love the optimism of youth.
