Whats Happened To The Weather

[nailit]

Out and about at work the last couple of days, Ive lost count of the number of people who have said the same thing. ''What's happened to the weather, its freakin odd?''
Its seems to be neither one thing or the other. Its supposed to be summer and it *IS* hot. But not sunny kind of hot. Its damp and rainy and tropical kind of hot.

Another thing Ive noticed, the weather forecast changes by the hour. Like they cant forecast with any accuracy anymore. Checked forecast this morning for my region and it gave out rain for 3pm onwards. Had a (very)slight shower and then back to hot, damp and sticky. Last week they gave out thunderstorms for most of the day. Never happened but every hour it changed, pushing the storms back to a later hour.

Don't know about greenhouse effect but this weather is definitely odd.
Or is it just me that thinks that?

A week or so ago I mentioned, on another thread, that the answer to our weather patterns is quite easy to spot. Look at the sky. Look beyond our Earth atmosphere and a bit further...….the Moon. Have you noticed anything about where it is? Since the beginning of the year the Moon has been, unusually, rising and setting in the Northern hemisphere. Think about it. Where do you normally get sight of the Moon. I bet that most of you are looking South. It has not been in your Southern vistas now for some months and will no be for a few more. We have had a long period, an anomaly of our planetary course, whereby the Moon has been rising and setting in the Northern skies, barely crossing the equinox, for some months. The ancients knew this and recorded it, we have been encouraged to forget the phenomena, better able to be taxed and punished, by the professional interferers who are ever ready to seize an opportunity to enrich themselves using the glow bull warning scheme.

That's interesting about the moon Togo.
Viewed a few vids a while ago about exactly the same phenomena.
Not been a 'sky watcher' myself I thought no more about them.

The UK is sandwiched between a large body of water and a large landmass, cold to the north, hot to the south. So we have a maritime climate, damp and variable. A fairly small rise in global temperature means even more volatility in our weather, mild damp winters and warm wet summers.

Got a source for that Togo? Would like to look it up.

Be careful Nailit, the lightning bolts may be thrown at you next!

If Jesus was alive today, imagine the money he could make advertising that?

Went down to Sandwich after lunch, picked my Mate up with his dogs, he does not have transport, and went off to Sandwich Bay. They had a really good run, the dogs not the owner. As we pulled up there was a slash of rain across the screen, we just sat tight for a few minutes and it just stopped, every one ended up happy, good innit?

Most unusual weather for Kent in August, Balders! :-)
