In article , Dave Cornwell writes: Yes, it always amazes me, with all the money there is in sport and how dependent they are on the weather, that they don't invest in "proper" forecasts and look at the radar. I was listening to Jonathan Agnew on TMS today, who seems to think that he knows something about the weather as he's training to be a private pilot, and mentions METARs from time to time. He couldn't believe that the rain could be coming from the south given that the wind was from the east. I can understand that to the uninitiated that would sound counter-intuative. The wind blows the rain in, right? I guess most people don't even realise thst depressions move within the atmosphere as whole entities and that surface winds are only really the product of any particular location's position relative to the low's centre. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl |
