The blody radio alternates between playing Walking on sunshine and Umbrella.

I feel hibernation coming on.

Was sitting in the car last night watching the senior lads training with the thunder and lightning rattling round them and it absolutely chucking down. It's quite unreal. A long way from us being baked alive and the farmers crying for a drop of rain in April!

It was nuts Deel, great experience but was kinda relieved leaving.
Hard work, did Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, Delhi was about 45-48 degrees, Monsoons in Agra, then about 48 degrees in Jaipur. Early morning starts every day due to the tours. Knackered leaving but saw some things I'll never forget, the poverty, the wildlife (found a baby snake in my bathroom one night) and the Taj Mahal really has to be seen up close to be believed.
Wound down though with a week in the Maldives doing nothing but eating, drinking cocktails and snorkelling!
Feck, now I'm even more depressed about this weather!!

ah sure a drop of rain is no harm it'll keep the dust down, a favourite saying of the auld farmer and if i hear it said ever again i throttle the person that says it

It is pure dung over here in Birmingham, thunder and lightning last night, bucketing this morning. 2 inches of rain in the next 24 hrs forecast. I've to drive up north tonight 175 miles, and the fecking schools break up today meaning every joe soap with a tent or a caravan will be heading off for the weekend. And to think i bought a water butt to save water in the garden a few months ago.

does anyone else rem the weather folk predicting that this was going to be a record HOT summer?

Its a record summer, but they couldnt have been as wrong if they tried !

I didnt believe them anyhow, but was hoping for a few nice days !

Autumn will be fine - it usually is

How do they make those long range predictions anyway, sure if they can't accurately predict the next 2 days how can they predict the next 3 months. Were bound to get a bit of use out of the bbq in August arent we?

like a lot of professions in Ireland these days, the weather people are worse than they ever were.

In years past, they would make predictions and get it wrong

these days they are so f**king shite, that they predict a bit of everything
it will be sunny, with rain, still with windy gusts at times, clear skies and occassionally cloudy.
fcuk sake
