This weather it like winter down here in west sussex. Had to put on a jumper yesterday i was so cold. Today high winds rain black clouds. I do hope its not going to be a repeat of last year two weeks very good weather and 50 weeks of rain.

Jumper??? We are still wearing winter coats up here. One minute the sun is shining the next it is a downpour and the wind is very strong. Have even had to put the central heating back on just to warm things up abit. Lots of tourists in Edinburgh at the moment and many of them looking rather miserable.

We went to Scarborough last weekend hoping for some sun and heat. Well, the sun did shine some of the time but it sure were not warm. 15 -16 degrees if you were lucky. We watched in amazement at many of the 'locals' walking along the promenade in shorts, T shirts and flipflops. We were wearing Fleeces and jeans. Then we realised that they in general had an extra layer of blubber, so did not feel the cold.

Definitely time to head for Europe and some real heat.

I find Metcheck pretty good in General. Tend to use it alongside BBC weather to get 2 views.

I imagine the data all comes from the Met Office so it's just a matter of interpretation and presentation.

The met office is close by where I live, we regularly see the staff counting cows standing under trees or waving dried fish about to create the latest high tech forcast. ;0)

As they predicted, the weather was Brilliant for us this weekend and we have another great looking day today. Shame to have to work, but I wn't complain about having a job at the moment.
