Only yesterday there were bushfires in Australia, with temps 40c today in one state there are floods with massive rainfall in 24 hours, its a funny old world

Ladies never 'break wind'. Try asking one(a difficult subject to bring up and watch out for that fast moving handbag).
Actually I think they just have silencers fitted.

I still think I prefer the heat to the cold,but 40 is around 10 degrees too much.However...I can always jump under a cold shower.

Has it gone mad?

Or is it just going through a depression?

After all, Even our well paid meteorologists admit they don't really understand it.

Maybe it's just trying to reach out to someone, somewhere, that will listen and tell it they understand what it's going through?

Perhaps the hot flushes you are experiencing are it's age? After all it is also known as 'Mother Nature', at least she's paying attention to you, we seem to be getting that cold shoulder, you know the one, icey glares, howls of derision but no explanation of what we've done wrong, not to worry, come spring we'll be back to permanent rainfall, even handing a tissue and saying there, there, won't cure it we'll get no change until we admit that it's all our fault and promise not to put it through global warming ever again.

However, will the weather really believe us?

I doubt it.

If you are correct ... and I have no reason to doubt the width and depth of your research ... and the Earth is female, does that mean that we should end all attempts to understand it? Are we fated to be at the mercy of irrational "mood swings" in the weather? Perhaps a dozen roses and a box of candy to go along with the abject apologies and unconditional admission of guilt would help.

You mean that's where they hide the silencers? Clever!

Had our first real snow here today... started falling around 3pm, not sticking, went to hosp in Lancaster, falling thick and fast, just starting to stick when we got there about 4pm. Came out 4.20, sticking in Lancaster, back in Morecambe 4.45 sticking but had turned to sleet falling. Sainsbury's car park a mass of slush, did some shopping, came out about 5.30, rain now falling, home 5.40, road and steps to house thick with slush. And that was it.
