I'll go for sunny in the morning, clouding over in the afternoon.

I was right about the weather following St Swithun's Day and about the
heavy rain we have had latter, so perhaps it will be third time lucky
for you and your bride :-). Good luck anyway, despite what the weather
brings on your wedding day.

Cheers, Alastair.

Since Ian will probably have other matters on his mind tonight, I
thought it best for me to congratulate myself for forecasting his
Wedding Day weather correctly!

The BBC forecast for Yateley today is:

After a dry and fine start with some sunshine, a few showers are
likely to develop by midday. Most of these should be well-scattered
with some places staying dry.

Which is not what you said, so your self-congratulations are somewhat
premature.

As you merely said sunny in the morning, clouding over in the
afternoon - and some parts of Hampshire have had showers already; plus
it looks like they may get a temporary improvement this afternoon, it
could be argued that you were 100% wrong.

Here in Wimborne, Dorset we have a clear blue sky. If anyone has a
weather report from closer to Yateley, I would be interested in
hearing it.

Cheers, Alastair.- Hide quoted text -

Try the weather radar from the MetO? It clearly shows showers passing
through Hampshire earlier this morning.

You've actually tried to say you are right from 12 days ago, by using
a BBC *forecast* from early this morning, before the day has actually
happened! Always best to wait until the forecast time has passed
before telling people you've got it right, I say. If you happen to get
it right, like I say; good guess, well done.
