What can I say? His ickle wifey was waiting for him. ;-)

I see, say no more. Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.

But why did you send Ray out to the car in the first place?

Ye gods - it's the Grand Inqusitor Show here! ;-)

This is getting ridiculous, so I shall stop here.

How the hell anyone can forecast our weather is beyond me.
Here this morning we had a drizzle with a few heavy showers, but about
half a mile away as the crow flies on the M4 below us it was bone dry,
but within 2 miles I was back on wet roads.
So who's forecast would have been right?
On the way back from the hospital just 4 miles away I drove through
heavy rain shower, but back here the ground was bone dry.

That is precisely why better predictions would be more probabilistic,
such as:

Swansea Bay. Patchy light rain and occasional heavy showers,
with a 60% chance of any precipitation and a 5% chance of 4-6 mm
of precipitation. More than 10 mm anywhere is unlikely.

With that, you know what to expect. You may not know what any
one location will get, but that is not predictable (even in theory).

I have observed the effect you describe cycling back from work,
which is a mere 3.5 miles away.


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.

On the Met website we have Swansea, Neath Abbey and Port Talbot all of
which are within about 5 miles of us.

If you have been on a long journey and had been anticipating a Loo
relief with minutes of arrival sitting in a car with water cascading
over it for an indeterminate time can be far from enjoyable.

There's a terribly personal note of distress and pain in that particular post!

Yea yeah - we have a stand outside and get soaked, fetish! ;-)

Not dressed in shiny rubber?

Naw, just a T shirt.

Wet of course.

It's pouring with rain... and being the UK it won't be warm rain
either.

Was it raining? Did you go out in just a T shirt to find out if the
rain was warm?

Fortunately not that often. When my work was mobile the main annoyance
was wishing to go to the Loo after a long journey while at the same
time wishing to hear the end of a feature on the radio. At least now
with the iPlayer that is an inconvenience that has been solved so one
may proceed into a convenience.
