Having read Philip Edens excellent piece in the Torygraph this morning about
the difficulty of forecasting persistent low cloud over (mostly eastern)
Britain, I confess to feeling extremely irritated by the cheerful burblings
of our weather masters,who have for the last few days been saying how nice
and summery this weekend was gonna be.
As the High migrated west on Friday it was obvious to even the most
optimistic weather watcher that a chilly northerly was about to set in with
its attendant cloud ,so all the poor unfortunates who had been trapped in
inside jobs through a steamy week would be very peed off as they huddled
under their barbecue canopies trying to pretend it was still summer.
For some reason the Met Office must feel responsible for issuing upbeat and
cheerful outlooks despite the opposite being likely ,as portrayed in the
very British habit of praising our 'brave' sports heroes of 'football
'cricket' and rugby' who normally come second.
Come on Met Office ,face facts ,we are British and can take it !!

hate the sun and break out into a muck sweat when temperatures exceed 15C.!
