Tonite: chance of thunder showers; and we need it. May continue into tomorrow. But for the weekend, fantastic weather.

And in Canada, we don't need to worry about running out of water. Which country has most of the world's fresh water? You have 3 guesses.

Dag panther, I'm already moaning. Those reports of very hot dry conditions are showing my extreme frustration by it all. The farm, garden and landscaping is getting crushed over here!
 
Finally, some rain, and a real nice soaker, coming straight down ... beautiful, stuff this rain .... and for the weekend, back to gorgeous.
 
My brother and his family are driving down to St.Ives in Cornwall. They set off last night at 10pm, hoping to miss the worst of the traffic.

They've just called now to say they are only near Bristol. Apparently parts of the M5 are under three feet of flood water. Traffic is being re-routed on to country lanes because it's so bad. They stopped at a service station, but so has everyone else, and the place has run out of food and drink.

The British summer, what a washout.:(
 
What a nightmare for them garinda, hope that they finally get to where they are going not to stressed out and that they can enjoy their holiday.
 
My dad , stepmum and my daughter set out for Devon yesterday evening; they were stuck on the M5 for 12 solid hours. They have finally got to Appledore now; it's a good job they had packed sandwiches and drinks.:(

Thanks.

They've just arrived now, and said it was chaos.:eek:
 
Yesterday I did a favor for a sick friend of mine ... he needed someone to drive his taxi in order to pay his bills ... well, it's an almost new Impala, with good AC, so what the hell. I picked up a guy at the airport; he is a biologist at Queens U.; his speciality is the study of fragile lake environments in the Arctic and the high boreal. His studies of lake sediments have led him to draw some reasonable, yet scary info on global warming. The conversation got around to the weather in England and he told me that the heavy rainfall demonstrates the accuracy of predictions of the results of human activity on the precipitation rates in NW Europe. Just for the hell of it, I asked him how long the planet had before it became completely f**ked up. Ballpark figure, based on what he knows, and what he knows of related research: 30yrs. But he said that he would put his money on 20yrs. Interesting.
 
My god, November already?? doesn't time fly....................


Oh no hold on, on my calender it says July!!! Hmmmmmm dunno which one to believe, calender or weather.


Global warming my bottom, more like global COLDING :D
 
I dont believe that any of it is due to Global Warming. Things like this have happened before: Ice Age anyone??

There was also something in the Mid Ages a bit like what we are experiencing now, and you didn't see them Jetting around the world, driving round in Range Rovers and spraying deodorant before they went out!! :p

I'm not saying that CO2 omissions don't help it along a bit, but I think even if we all drove round in Toyota Prius's this would still be happening!!

Exactly thirty years ago was also a dreadful, wet summer, which followed the heatwave of 1976 the year before, just like we had last year.

I'll report back in 2037 if there is a thirty year pattern emerging here.:D
