The weather since about Friday seems to have followed the same diurnal
pattern (south Hampshire). Despite being a "polar maritime" airstream, normally characterised by clear nights and early mornings (till about 10am) with cloud most extensive from about 10am until maybe an hour before sunset, instead, the mornings have been universally cloudy (8am and 9am being pretty much overcast on each day) while the late afternoon and early evening (starting about 3pm, particularly after 5pm) have been sunny (every day except Sunday predominantly sunny or clear between 7-9pm). However after dark cloud increases again, with at least partial cloud cover before midnight. A couple of days have to be discounted due to fronts/troughs complicating things, but other than that it seems more like a typical "stratus burning off" setup (typically found in either NE or tropical maritime airmasses) - despite the cloud being cumulus.

Nick I'm guessing it's been more of an rPM for most of the time with the air taking a long sea track over anomalously warm waters to the WSW of us and so picking up a lot of moisture. I wish I'd still got a view of a trajectory program to see the source and track of the air reaching us over recent days, but that's one of the downsides of retirement. -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK.

I thinks it is pretty well universal in the UK that the weather warms up at about 10 am no matter what. (No explanation given on here as far as I know.)

Do try and stay without the hallowed regimen of highly educated grammatical conventions, there's a love. Your paragraph spacings (and (dare I mention?) the obtuse use of brackets) are an anathema to those of us who have to spend their days burdened without the confines of academia. I'm guessing it's been more of an rPM role Playing Model? Real Player mode? for most of the time with the air taking a long sea track over anomalously I know I am saddled with the term myself, byte ye use offe ye wyrde: Anomalous is anomalous comparyde ynto ane ythere wyrde: Ynneusualle. warm waters to the WSW of us and so picking up a lot of moisture. I wish I'd still got a view of a trajectory program to see the source and track of the air reaching us over recent days, but that's one of the downsides of retirement. What struck me (besides fluid fall out) was the timing. It would seem that not only do the heaviest showers in an unabridged version of the Weatherlawyer Code seem to have a clockwork feel to it, no doubt in favour of the tidal nature of weather in this sceptic ill but the fallout from times when it rained heaviest the day before seemed to be edge on to it. In other words: If it rained heavily on the Monday at 2 pm, at 2 pm the following Tuesday it was more of a light shower or drizzle. Then on Woden's day the weather picked up a little, though still not not terribly good. And tomorrow: Thor's day, it should be sunny at that time. No doubt the reader will admire my perspex if only he could remember WTH it was doing and when, this first half of the spell. Twit I say. Yea verrily not just smallbairn -and then I'd tend to forget what I was talking about. (No doubt Richard Dixon already knows.) |

Pot calling the kettle black methinks. The word anathema in this context should not have a definite or indefinite article attached to it. So you should have said: "....is anathema to those of us...." i.e. is irritating, disagreeable. You wouldn’t say is an irritating or is a disagreeable would you? Jack |
