Weather

I don't buy it, I believe it's a natural earth cycle like the periodic Ice Ages, its a ploy to push forward unreliable technologies and dupe the public into the false idea of an all-electric future, it has worked on many who have foolishly bought expensive electric vehicles where the very expensive batteries will expire quickly due to the rapid charge required to compete with popping into a filling station to fill tour tank, why buy the 'more sensible' self charging hybrid when they will cease production in a mere 7 years. It's one big con.

Hi everyone! I'm from Portugal and we are really feeling the climate changes over here, it hasn't rained for more than 1 month, in a time of a year, that should happen the opposite... how is every each of you handling this?

I was hoping to go walking but its going to be a very wet weekend in the Midlands, I don't mind getting caught out in the rain, cycling or walking, but I'm not keen to set out in heavy rain, I guess I'll console myself with housework. I hope it doesn't cause anymore flooding, many folk must just be getting straight from early in the year.

Is it me or are the mornings getting lighter?

Thinking of renting somewhere long term abroad over the winter. Any ideas/tips? Ideally would prefer a country eg France/Spain instead of being stuck on one island.

As for "global warming", here in North West England the term should perhaps be "global raining". As for 2017 , I cannot remember such persistent downpours. hardly a day passed without rain. My garden nowadays, on what once was a small lawn, is a "mud bath" at least it doesn't put my dogs off frolicking in it!

The temperature has dropped and I have had to put my heating on before the end of the month - have you?

For some weeks now (October 29th 2015) the media have been saying a Berwicks Swan was seen in the UK and its a sign alongside the huge El Nino in the Pacific that we will have the worst winter for 50 years. I thought that did have some scientific backing regarding the El Nino phenomenon combined with laymen's details like the berries on our holly tree are incredible this year. What do you think?

Why is it that as soon as the schools break up the weather always turns wet and windy? Next year I think we will tell our family to go abroad as many times its cheaper to holiday abroad on the beach than go to places in the UK when its raining. There was a feature on Breakfast TV this morning about this

I cannot believe the weather this last weekend was like a deluge. Although the garden needed the rain as it was bone dry and the lawn was getting parched it has gone to the opposite with the lawn is now a mini lake
