What rain?  This is on track to be in the top 5 for the dryest autumn since 1775 (or thereabouts) - I heard it in the weather forecast on the telly, so it must be true :

. the forecast for December is loads of the stuff, but i suppose December will be classed as winter

It seems to me that we might be in for the start of those infamous (well, they are to me) low pressure systems that come in off the Atlantic, relentless they are. Usually they come in one after the other, never-ending, bringing continual wet spells of rain.

Demoralising to say the least.

Usually they start lining themselves up around mid-January to pay us a visit, which seems to last for about 6 weeks; depends where the Jet Stream is located, this helps to direct them, and it usually sits somewhere over Grenland, pushing them across Northern Europe.

Seems the way some bands of rain have been coming in recently off the Atlantic this week we may already be there.

Oh yes lookie, this is for today



The orange band is the Jet-Stream, low pressure in the Atlantic is prevented from moving northwards, so it flows along the southern edge of the Stream, right over us.

Where it should be Matt, this time last year it was a couple 100 miles too high so we had no rain. It gave all them plonkers going on about globle warming loads to go on about but now it's settles down it's only polititions thinking of ways to raise TAXES are going on about it.

Shame it's raining.
