Won't get much rain out of this one either by the looks of the radar,
but the light is certainly very poor for the time of day/year here in
Southampton, particularly to the north, at almost three hours before
sunset still. Without wishing to sound like I'm moaning too much, this
particular system is certainly giving everyone *precisely* what they
*don't need* - loads of rain in the recently-wet north, none down here
but lots of grey cloud and unseasonably strong wind.

Permission to be the first to use the "A" word? ;-)

No autumnal :-)

Front passed over here around 1830, gloomy enough to turn the odd
street light on but very little rain. Brightening to the NW now.
Oh for a Continental climate... warm sunshine, winter snow and
dramatic summer thunderstorms guaranteed...

Did I not read in the newspaper that the Met Office wre predicitng two
weeks of record temperatures for the UK? *This was last week.

Have they got it wrong again?

No you didn't. They predicted no such thing. You've made it up.

Why on earth would I do that? Stupid boy. I read it in at least two
separate publications, and it was attributed to the Met Office. As
most forecasting cock-ups are, these days.

Unfortunately, you are completely wrong and the MetO said no such
thing. You probably read it in the Beano and the Dandy.

What a pleasure it is having you posting.

and what a ****ing pain in the arse when you do

If you read things like that in the paper it is always a good idea to go
and verify it by looking on the Met Office site to be sure. It is not
unknown for newspapers (mostly of the tabloid variety) to misinterpret,
exaggerate or just completely get the wrong end of the stick with
weather reports.
