Met Office Forecasts
Lovely dry day yesterday, forecast said today would be all sunshine. Go to garden centre, buy the lawn sand and feed and compost and mulch. Today look out the window, it's tiddling down . Check web site again, still says sunshine . Someone must be having a laugh
now says cloud and light rain.

In my little corner of Ireland we seem to have our own climate at times. Irish forecasters rarely get it right for here, although Sky forecasters seem to be a bit more accurate. But I've mostly given up listening and just wait and see what each day brings.24-02-2014, 12:59 PM

Its possible, Ania darlin' that because of the contours of the land around you, you have your own micro-climate which is why the more generalised forecast is often wrong.

Re: Met Office Forecasts
It was great weather earlier on today, the wife and me took the baby out for a walk in the sunshine, but looking at the satellite weather shots I see a great swirly mass of cloud coming in from the south west of the country.I am however optimistic for the Spring and Summer this year as the law of averages says all that water we had has to get back into circulation around the globe again and we will indeed have water restrictions all over the place, funny old World ain't it.

Re: Met Office Forecasts
Had not thought about it before but is the amount of water above, on and below the planet surface a relatively constant amount that just gets redistributed ? When it's in liquid form how many times does it get re-used before vaporising and reforming in the clouds ? Is the water we are using now the same water that the stone age men, ancient Egyptians, those in the Middle ages and the Victorians were all using ? Why does my head hurt ?24-02-2014, 10:14 PM

I'm a gardener and I use these sites. The first one shows where rain is falling and has history and can be animated to see direction of rainI find the 2nd site more accurate for forecasts. It can be customised to show forecast near to you
