Rain

Will it ever stop ?

Sunny as fook in Ayrshire, first dry day in 16 mind.

As I have said on many occaisions, do you think the Bedouin looks out of his black tent across the blazing desert and says "Oh look the sun is shining. Or the Eskimo peeps out of his igloo across the frozen waste and says "Oh look snow" In Plymouth we don't comment on the rain for the same reason.

its why we have a green and plesant land. lovely day up north though today

Fook orf the lot of you.
I have worked in it all day.

Was lovely today up to 3pm in my neck of the woods. Went to the kids sports day and got sunburnt! Its pissing down now!

It's all to do with the jet stream. The UK is positioned where there is a constant battle between areas of low pressure (we and windy) coming in from the atlantic and high pressure areas (dry and sunny) coming from the south and east. The jet stream (a stream of high altitude fast moving air) normally flows over the top of Scotland south of Iceland. However, for the past few years it has moved south below the UK. And because it is more powerful than the two battling fronts it's southerly position has allowed the areas of low pressure sweeping in from the atlantic to dominate as it is holding back the areas of high pressure well to the South of the UK. Also there has been an unusually high number of atlantic lows this summer.

Argyle always play shit in the rain.



And the sun.

so whats causing the jetstream to be further south than it should be.

It's natural position is north of the UK, but it will vary quite a bit normally throughout the summer. It's just bad luck (for us) and coincedence that it's primarily held its position further south for a prolonged period, I think.

It's the weakness of the Azores High. Don't fer fecks sake ask why it's weak though!

If ever a one-word post deserves a round of applause, that is it.
