Agreed. If it turns out to be sunny I can always use the brolly to
protect my eyes from the setting sun!!!


.... just had a look at the programme:-

I wonder if the last item of the first half will be appropriate :-)

On a weather note, I've only been in this part of the world for just
over a year, so don't consider myself a local expert. However, I have
noticed just how much influence a comparatively low range of hills
(South Dorset Downs / the Purbecks) has on the weather hereabouts:
they seem to modify the conditions *markedly* downwind, so with any
direction (of wind) from between S & WSW, things don't necessarily
turn out as you'd expect! They're hardly mountains - from a quick look
at the map, generally 150 m elevation, with spots above 180 m.

Martin.
