Thumbs down It rained every day in June.......

..at least it did, here in Scunny.

Every day, I get up around 06:30, and the sky is cloudless and blue.
By 08:00 it's cloudy and rains during the day.

Every NIGHT, the clouds clear away around 19;30 and we have a relatively clear night

July begins and it's the same.........

It has rained here most of the time in the North of Wales, UK. It has rained today, and I think its going to rain tomorrow as well and so on. I just think that it will rain all the time, so when it doesn't rain, I'll take it as a bonus.

It's been a crap month for my solar panels as well, we generated less in June than we did in March.

Sunny here at the moment though

From here - just remember this the next time you hear how increased taxes are the only answer...

OK, we got 2012 wrong – but trust our forecast for 2100

Much fun has been had in contrasting the Met Office’s forecasts of our weather during the past three months with what actually transpired. Its prediction on March 26 “slightly favoured drier than average conditions for April-May-June”, with April as the driest month. This forecast, the Met Office assured us, was based on “observations, several numerical models and expert judgment”. What happened, as we know, was that we have had more rain than at any time since records began in 1766, with the wettest April and June in 100 years.

What is timely to recall, however, is the admission made to MPs in March 2010 by Professor Julia Slingo, the Met Office’s chief scientist, that the “numerical models” used by the Met Office to make its short-term weather forecasts are exactly the same as those “we use for our climate prediction work”.

The Met Office’s projections of future climate change are viewed by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change with total reverence. So the £33 million super-computer which failed to predict the wettest April in more than a century is one of those on which the IPCC relies for its predictions of what the weather will be like in 100 years’ time. It is hard to know which has become more discredited in the past two years, the UK Met Office or the IPCC, both of which rest their faith on computer models as dodgy as one of those proverbial nine-bob notes.

Well, there's ONE thing the MetOffice can do: tell you what just happened.

It's about all their satellite photos are worth: "Oh look, THIS cloud is why you had all that rain today....."

Can I just take this opportunity to say how much I ******* hate this sh1thole of a country, its **** poor political system, its dog eat dog society, its welfare state haven for the lazy, its drinking culture and now to cap it all its ******* miserable damp cold summers where the temperatire rarely gets over 15 and it rains every goddamn miserable pissing day.

No doubt you will tell me to emigrate and I would if the economy wasn't so ******* shagged that I cant sell my house and even if I could I would get buttons for it and that is before we factor my dwindling money supply due to business being sh1tter than **** in recent months!

Oh happy ******* days!

Rained every day in July so far, forecast for rain as far ahead as they dare go.

The thing is, when we get a couple of bright weeks early in the year, and everyone says, "Oh well, that's summer, then...." we think it's a joke
