Obelixx, the days are very comfortable for us at the moment. Lovely clear days and just cool enough for a long sleeved skivvy and trousers. Not quite a cardigan.
If the rain comes, it might much it up though. đ
President Donald Trump says he has "heard" Democratic candidate Kamala Harris "doesn't qualify" to serve as US vice-president, amplifying a fringe legal theory critics decry as racist.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Youâre obviously enjoying your morning coffee Dove. Â
I delivered four knitted dolls and several little bags of my lavender to the gift shop today. Theyâre very happy to get more new supplies. Â Although people are obviously distancing, they are still wandering around the shopping centre. Â As long as theyâre covering themselves up, I canât complain.Â
I havenât read about the A levels in the UK that youâve all been writing about. Whatâs happened? Â Also Iâm wondering about DDs cafe. I heard that things were getting tighter in France.Â
I'm with @Obelixx (and Billy Connolly), the best predictor of the weather is to look outside. I tend to think that anybody that works within the weather forecasting industry is stealing a living. Forecasts can be so wrong so close to the event that it renders them pure guesswork. The only thing that you can take as gospel on the weather forecast is the (increasingly long) segment that tells you about the weather that you've just had!
I had a rare round of golf cancelled a few weeks ago because electrical storms were forecast along with 80-90% chance of rain for a big chunk of the day. It was decided that the odds weren't good. I spent that day in the garden absolutely baking. Not a cloud in the sky and hottest day of the year (up to that point). Not happy!
Hmm ... watching the radar is usually pretty near the mark ... farming brother pays a pretty penny to access specialised very local forecasts ... trust me he wouldnât spend that if it didnât work ... but the general regional forecast just give a flavour of whatâs going on ... I would rarely alter plans solely because of a tv weather forecast.Â

Our recent beach days đ have only happened because we saw the Met Office forecast looked good for 5 days time and booked a car park ticket on the strength of that.  Have had great days each time.  True, the spontaneity goes out of it, but the pre booked system means no traffic jams and plenty of space on the beach to keep your distance.  Once it all goes back to normal (whatever that is) I doubt weâll go much.  Mr C hates crowds and traffic jams.....I hate it when Mr C is grumpy đĄ đ.  There should be a gender appropriate version of âhappy wife, happy lifeâ for me đ€Ł

Fair enough - it is clearly a field covering a spectrum from pretty accurate to absolute tosh. If it is a scientifically rigorous process though, I'm baffled why all agencies can't seem to sing from the same hymn sheet. The online BBC weather forecast for my local area has, certainly over the last few months, been utter drivel. I only take a look for entertainment purposes!!! The BBC ought to have the means to be better than that? On a regular basis, the forecast for an hour segment of the day will change from <5% chance of rain to >50% and vice versa. This happens within half an hour of the hour segment actually starting. If that's based on the latest tech, it's not worth the bother. The TV forecasts seem to boil down to it'll be sunny, rainy, stormy, calm, warm, chilly and unseasonable. Just take your pick what you fancy. I don't feel that we've come too far from that Michael Fish moment, despite the protestations of those whose livelihoods depend upon it.
