I thought I'd been silent long enough, so here's a piccy of this
evenings sunset with rainbow over the Pennines. A bit of a dodgy
panorama, but you can see the cloud formation quite well. The sky was a
beautiful blue in the other direction, and we didn't get more than a few
spots of rain.
I was up near Oban last week and still can't believe how much rain fell
on us - at least it drowned the midges

Speaking of Oban and rain, I am always amazed when looking at theyr.net
at how much rain it forecasts for Oban for the next few days (although
right now isn't a very good example). There are quite often vast areas
of blue in the Oban meteograms.

Does it normally actually turn out that way? If so, the annual rainfall
for Oban must be huge. Or is there some peculiarity of the model they
use which always over-predicts the rainfall for that area?
