So harvest will be down and floods every where Given that any reputable met source will tell you that a 5 day forecast is stretching it, that's not worth a passing thought. And yet the Met Office make a pile of money selling long range forecasts to farmers etc. I suppose these must be computer predictions based on past weather patterns? No idea, to be frank. I would suggest that all you can predict re British weather is that it may be a bit warmer in spring and summer than it is in autumn and winter. I am married to a nurseryman who watches the weather forecast twice a day and is never surprised at the actual weather varying from the forecast or doing precisely what it says. Within one day we can experience rain, sun, gale, no wind, cloud and at night, frost. The only thing that makes him really cross - from a business pov - is hearing that it's piddling with rain in Devon (BIG county)when we're looking out at brilliant sunshine. So - forecasters do their best and why wouldn't they? But this country is an island subjected to ever-changing conditions from several directions. Certainty is not an option. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
