Why The Weather Is So Bad?
There is a detailed explanation here in the Daily Telegraph. The first paragraph says it all.
The reason the weather is so bad this month is that a so-called jet stream, which lowers air pressure and brings unsettled weather, has become stuck over southern England.
I think it is a case of up the anchors and tow the country south.
But then summers were like this in the 1950s and 1960s. And we survived!
On the other hand we didn’t get all this flooding. But that’s because idiots allowed houses to be built on flood plains.
Even the Olympic Park has been built on a drained swamp, but it has lots of rivers running through it.
They’ve Cancelled The Stringbag
The weather has now got worse and the BBC has announced that the flypast by the Swordfish has been cancelled.
The Queen Gets Her Weather
It looks like the next four days, will be the Queen’s usual weather; dull with rain.
At least heavy rain doesn’t seem to be forecast.
Hopefully!
Summer Is Over
Does this picture herald the end of summer?
The Angel, Islington in the Rain
Or is the Queen getting her usual bad weather for the Diamond Jubilee?
Do You Think We Should Have a Whip-round to Buy God a New Bath-plug?
Our youngest son always used to say that thunderstorms were caused because God let the bath-water run over.
So, he might have said the title of this post, after all the bad weather, we’ve been having lately!
It’s Official Now!
They’ve announced that the rain is now the worst since Genesis Chapters 6 to 9.
I did walk to get my paper today, but I then waited in the shelter at the bus stop and cleared out the rubbish into the bin there, before taking the bus two stops to home.
At least my copy of The Times is dry.
This Dreadful Weather
Carol Kirkwood’s forecasts are still as good as ever. But why has the weather got so bad since BBC Breakfast moved to the Capital of Rain, Manchester?
Is it the Devil getting his own back? As he wants to see what’s going on in the capital of this country, not some second-rate city in the North.
I’m Now Air-Conditioned
For a few days now my living room has been air-conditioned.
My Air-Conditioner
It’s certainly made me feel a lot better and hopefully, it will get rid of a lot of the bad health I have been suffering from.
As an example., now over the last few days, my left arm has been a lot better and I can type with two hands if I need to!
Rain, Rain Go Away
There was a children’s poem, that my sister and I used to recite on days like this.
I’ve found some lyrics.
Rain, rain go away
Come again some other day
We want to go outside and play
Come again some other day
I think, we used to substitute something like “Come again on washing day” for the last line.
It still doesn’t get round the problem of today’s bad weather. Especially, as it’s promised to get worse this afternoon and appears it’s going to be like this for a few days yet.
