Meteo-rory-ology


Blisteringly, beautifully hot today.
A week ago the temperature in our back garden was 6C. Today it was 25.
What a crazy, mixed-up, almost-certainly-changed-by-human-behaviour-despite-what-some-people-think climate we live in.  What would be ideal now would be if this weather just went on until the end of October. But it won’t. We know it won’t. Truth be told, we’ll be lucky if it goes on until the end of the week.
There’ll be payback soon. We know there will. Thunderstorms on Sunday or a fortnight of dull skies, or both. We’re not allowed to have nice weather in this country, it’s as simple as that. At some point in some past life we collectively committed some unspeakable act that we are now perpetually being punished for. Hence – grey skies, damp air and often-incessant rainfall, punctuated with just a couple of good days here and there to remind us what we’re missing out on.
SEE – even on the warmest April 19th for 70 years I can find a way to moan about our weather!!!!
