I see from todays Torygraph weather page ,that Southeast Englands temps
would be between 9 and 12C,and it would feel rather mild ,well,excuse me ,
it FEELS bloody cold !
Why and where did this feely touchy nonsense creep into what should be
perfectly straight forward forecasts,saying how it is and not what some
abitary thinktanker decides for us.
Oh bring Bert Foord I say...now you can all bugger off.

Who said I'm feeling tetchy ?

It's 10DegC here and feels quite nice!

That doesn't help, does it......

10C also here in S.Cambs. I have just had a one hour stroll and found
it very pleasant.

In flower Snowdrops, Daisies and Celandines.

Just seen a butterfly in the garden (yes, a live one), in balmy Wokingham

You must be getting old, Ron, not that I'm exactly a
youth. I basically agree with your gripe. I would say to a
forecaster "You tell me the temperature; *I'll* tell you how it
feels." At times they could add some qualification about humidity,
say, or windiness. Even sunshine. But not windchill. A temperature
of 5°C and a 20 mph does not feel the same as -5°C and a calm, even if
the rate of loss of heat from a Standard Sheep, by some conventional
formula, is the same. The feel is quite different. Just give us the
figures and treat us as adults.

Hey Ron, I keep saying - don't read the newspapers, it's very
liberating!

Baaaaa !

Sorry it has been such a nice day, I'm in a flippant and rather cheeky
mood.

Philip, if you were to tip everyone a fiver who appreciated your Saturday
column, you'd be broke....

Sometimes its the only reason I get that paper on a weekend. Much better than
Kettley in the MoS, although he's not too bad.
