Geoff I've also found the 10 day forescat at www.weather.com to be quite good.... but I've convinced myself that forecast weather seems to arrive earlier than they predict. For example ... if they are predicting a sunny week with rain forecast to arrive in 7 days time, then as the days tick by they bring forward the expected rain so that it frequently seems to arrive a day or two earlier that originally predicted. I've not noticed weather being "pushed back" which should also occur if it's just a random forecasting error.. |

Never failed to be puzzled by weather forecasts, they often get tomorrow, even today wrong,so how can I believe longer range forecasts? also I use BBC weather web page to get the forecast for my town, often that says one thing and the BBC TV forecast another, same source so why is that? The only thing I find consistently accurate is the temperature forecast. |

Yes it's been abandoned, not surprising considering this rain. I haven't seen rain like this for many years Just easing here to the east of Torquay, the cloud has now lifted so I can see the moor, 30 minutes ago I could not see the bottom of the garden. Whilst I have seen heavier rain here it has always been for quite limited periods whereas this was for several hours - the recently cleared guttering and the surface water drains at the front of the property could not cope but at least it has refilled the pond. My better half is has been doing a fund raising walk in Torbay for Cancer Research this morning (as a prelude next weekend's Moon Walk) and will undoubtedly be in need of a large tot of something warming when she gets home. -- Robert |

We have 8 water butts and I am sure that the 3 fed from the house could have been filled twice. No I am not doubling up on them :-( Not too sure about the 5 along the back of the garage, possibly another 50%.

You can see the situation up to 30 minutes ago, it is not a forecast. The whole point of it is that you can see what's coming and you make your own short term forecast. Yup. The clouds are moving towards my husband who's in Sweden. tee hee He kept sending me text saying 'warm' and 'sunny' etc. That'll teach him. It's looking really stormy above Bordeaux and Toulouse. Maybe I should ring my folks! Come to think of it, it's moving towards you now. |

I was just looking at the Toulouse area having thought to go to Cathar land for a holiday. Normally the area is nice in May. Absolutely - it was 22 degres C last sunday! Most of my folks headed for the seaside. It's the year going backwards I fear. We've had April showers, March hails, now we need Feb snow and it's the world upside down. Clearing as I speak.
