Do you mean tropical cyclones are forecast in the next week for Atlantic
basin or just over the summer? I think the latter is standard, as for the
former, where's the incipient system you talk about?

No.

I am just referring to an anomally that turned up last year during the
North Atlantic hurricane season. Coastal Western/Northern Europe seemed
to get frosts or fogs when they occurred. Or visa versa. Or rather:
Due to them having the same root cause.

I am guessing that fog in China has a similar anomally seen with
Australian cyclones. (On the Queensland side). It has to be a guess
since China is run by secretive criminals that make George Bush's
regime seem like a pack of monkeys.

(What am I talking about, George Bush's regime is a pack of monkeys.)


A litle off the present topic:
I seem to have a high tech version of the Victorian(?) weather glass.
One of my double glazing units has failed, giving a variety of optical
effects that on one occasion of fine weather cleared up entirely.

Now all I need to do is find out how to read it.

A weather glass is a mixture of camphor, water and alcohol. The state
of the suspension indicates the type of weather, which in Britain,
broadly speaking, means Scandinavian High, Atlantic Low and ridges,
cols or troughs.

The reason I mention it is that it is particularly noticeable when the
weather is a bit like this. Woulnd't you think it more likely to show
up strongly in a downpour such as yesterday or the day prior?

Or perhaps I never looked?

Odd, I just went to look at it again and it seemed to have cleared up
except for a faint patch abot the size of my hand on one side of the
bottom. Doh! It doesn't work after all.

Then I noticed the drizzle.
