Re: Weather
The weather is just doing its best to help us with our net zero targets:
Solar power? here's months of blazing sunshine for you.
Wind turbines? hey I'll throw some extremely windy weather your way, oh and lots of rain to counteract the drought conditions from that brilliant summer . .

Re: Weather
Today was the first time in ages that it rained from before dawn until after sunset. And it's still coming down. As the barometer slowly dropped, the gusts rose in force.

Re: Weather
Few more weeks of rain, and the reservoirs might recover a bit. In time for next year’s drought.
