Stormy Weather II

[Lat-Literal]

Torrential.

Torrential.

With winds coming down from the north, where the airstream is forced uphill, as when it hits the North Downs, you're getting additional upward motion at the rain-bearing levels, known as orographic uplift (not by the way a new type of wonder bra in case you were wondering!), which in turn intensifies the rate of rainfall; hence the explanation. That's why the wettest regions of the UK on average are the west-facing uplands of Dartmoor, N Wales, the Lakes and the Cairngorms.

And on a west facing slope I am at this mo, and it's the hottest day of the summer here with more or less uninterrupted sun and a good jolly breeze.


[Sorry - not nice to SEasters.

Rain for you again tomorrow though, heh heh heh!

It's become vaguely sunny here in York too, with no rain forecast tomorrow, according to Draco's trusty Yr site.
Still windy though.

Thanks.

Would you be so kind as to turn up to the double D wonders on the Planning Committee at the Town Hall and use that phrase in the three minute allotted space? That the second highest place in Greater London could have such regular severe flooding in the valley road no vehicle can use it beggars belief. But that is what happens when "authorities" build road upon road on all of the hills going down to it just as has been recommended again especially locally. It's willful - yet more four bedroom mansions with no gardens and no parking spaces which will take 18 months to be sold. I was speaking to poor Ken on the weekend who is among many of us who have been banging our heads on brick walls. But, hey, what does it matter that he is 91 or that his father contributed at Passchendaele or that half his house is unusable many months after the last time it became a drain or that Bernard Weatherill House doesn't think it should be paying him compensation. It's in the name of equality apparently. Meanwhile I've just seen Noah sailing by just below the top of this mountain. He sends his best regards.

Yes: bright and sunny here today, so off on an expotition!
Coxwold, Helmsley, Rievaulx perhaps.

... as a big fan of Laurence Sterne I've always had a hankering to visit Coxwold - but is there, in fact, much of interest there?

Just down the road from you, Kenley was the wettest place in the UK yesterday, which isn't a bad going! Still pretty cloudy and cool here today; I'm just hoping Sunday turns out a bit warmer and sunner, so that I can hit the Thames towpath between Putney and Barnes and have one of the delicious veggieburgers at that pub just along the path on the other side of Hammersmith Bridge, before you get to Kelmscott House, a place of pilgrimage of mine.

... if you like Kelmscott, I hope you also know Emery Walker's house, just a bit further along -

Sounds a grand plan. I shall be in Chicago with my granddaughter and her parents - maybe listening to music?

I didn't, actually. Seems one has to be in a touring party to visit, according to the blurb. Fascinating place, though - I fell in love with that entire riverside path a couple of years ago, and try & get down there at least once a year on the bike.

Have a great time over there, grandma greenilex!

Nope - even sunnier than yesterday in this bit of the Pennines. ( <tryingnottolooksmugbutfailingemoticon> )

You deserve some decent weather, being in the north!
