Default No more sun 'til Christmas and drought

A thought: If we had sunless days from now until Xmas we would still have
above average sunshine amounts for the year 2003. Pennine reservoirs are at
very low levels - if the rain does not come soon we will have drought
restrictions in place too. Fields were like dust bowls when I went for a
walk in the Aire Valley yesterday.

The dry spell is getting quite severe around here now - just 12mm rain
in this part of Norfolk since the end of July.

The farmer next door was ploughing the field last week (the one you can
see on the camera at www.ivy-house.net) and he may as well have been
ploughing the beach - it's just sandy dust.
A good gale could whip up some major dust storms with the autumn fields
now bare soil (dust).

You could well be watching the dust fly then on Monday, Chris.

Caught a few cracking sun rises on your camera recently :-)

Oh Lordy! Better not put the washing out that day then - hopefully those
troughs will trigger some showers to damp it down.

This is the best time of year for sunrises on the camera - it's been
offline a couple of times recently; I'm rewiring part of the house and I
sometimes forget to switch the camera on again after I've turned the
power back on.

There have been some excellent displays of contrails caught by the
rising sun. The transatlantic redeye flights are bumper to bumper (well,
the aircraft equivalent anyway) on UL603 around sunrise; on their way
into Amsterdam and Brussels. I can dig some of them out of the harddisk
if anyones interested.
