Weather borders

When you look at the weather map (perhaps with good old sexy Tomasz Schafernaker ) and they show us who has rain, who has sunshine, who has snow, who stays dry - do you ever wonder if you could go to the border line to see it?

You know, you're in the sunshine but if you step a pace you're in the rain. Same with temperature differences - over the border line it's 23 degrees but where you're stood it's only 10

Have you ever stood on one side of the pavement and it's dry but on the other side it's raining and folk have the umbrellas up?

I have seen a wet line on the road showing the extent of a shower of rain

Oh definitely Pesta !
I've walked mountains and hills in Wales in squally weather, only to return to a car park of dry sunshine!

Re: Weather borders

The most extreme weather I've experienced are tropical storms in Central America. It can be brilliant sunshine and 36° then all of a sudden it pours down.
An example would be walking out the door into the rain and stepping back inside again totally drenched. A storm drain would fill a foot deep with rain water in the space of a few minutes. Then the sun would come back out an hour later the drain would be completely dry and the grass parched once more. It's so strange.

Hi

Same here Meg, it is very strange.

I can often see it raining over the hills when it is dry here.

Re: Weather borders

Quite often I look out the back window and it's raining, but dry out the front.

I know what you mean Longdogs, that's one of the drawbacks of living in a massive house....

My house is so big the back bedrooms are on a different time zone to the front ones....A walk from front to back requires putting the clocks back one hour....

We live in central southern England and the national weather forecast lines nearly always right through the middle of our house. I never know how it's going to be from that, so always take a look at local forecasts on the Internet.

I like the site linked to below. It gives so much information about the weather. Note the menu on the left-hand side. Click the buttons one by one and also click various places along the time line at the bottom. It's kind of interesting:

Re: Weather borders

Me too, you can climb over a dry stone wall and suddenly be in sunshine, it can look quite odd when you are dripping with rain
