Why is our weather so rubbish ?

[bobk]

Watched @Simon Keeling s farmers weather at 6 o clock with a cool dry evening forecast ... we've got a f**kin tornado above us .

Until now, we could get by, but theres going to need to be a few dry days now before anything can move in most fields, a lot of cows in here full time now. also know of at least 3 farms with no silage made at all.

i have plenty hay for sale.

A friend who has recently emigrated to Brunei commented that he didnt realise how crap our weather was until he moved somewhere that has chiily days of 24 degrees and hot days of 32 degrees.

Just worked out that around our Cirencester location, since the start of harvest in late July 25% of days have had no rain.

I'm sure others on here can beat that though.

apparently there were 7 days with no rainfall in the whole of june july and august. i think weve had 3 in September so far.

84 mm rain in October to 3pm today, taking us to 610 mm since 1st June.

Or exactly two bloody feet in old money since the start of " summer".

24 degrees is to hot for me....18-20 suits me

We've had a great October. Last 2 weeks been dry. Weather coming in from West has run out of steam by the time it's reached us.

One word to sum up this summer..... w4nk.

In terms of what was forecast for today(lovely dry sunny day) at the start of the week,and what we've actually had(wind and rain without a minute's respite) today might well be the biggest complete forecasting failure that I can recall(I may be fed up and have a short memory..)

Absolutely useless,they could forecast today an hour in front got it completely wrong ,

It's always keep an eye on the forecast .It's a bit uncertain usually only three days and the they haven't got a clue! The last few weeks it's raining when not forecast.
