we have two types of rain here..the stuff that falls vertically and the other type that is driven horizontally by the wind...we can experience both types on a typical sunny day...
As the brochure for devon says.....come to sunny devon where it rains 6 days out of 7 ,and on the 7th day it p**ses down....LOL...........
The metrology centre has some of the most powerful computers there with data covering a hundred years or so,so why can't they reliably forecast the next days weather? there are a lot of variables that can change the weather but with the unreliability of the forecasts of late ,the looking out the window form of weather reporting would be better than what is currently available..
