Haha another load of old rubbish tale, as I said to someone I either want half an inch in the next week or so for the spring wheat and barley or it can stay away till November
November is a bit extreme.

The real meaning of St Swithen’s day is that the weather this time of year often tends to get stuck in a rut. Not just referring to the day, but for the week or so either side of the day. Therefore, whatever it is or has been for that period, tends to remain so for a reasonably long period.
The term ‘forty days’ is a biblical term, referring to a long time.

Noooooooo……that’ll be perfect. We don’t need rain until then. It’s the UK…… almost certain to be wet afore Christmas.

St. Swithin's Day
Simon Keeling's saying potential heavy thunder storms wednesday next week, central southern England, maybe south Wales as well. ECMWF agrees, yr.no are predicting heavy rain Wednesday for me.
