Quite fun, this one - but how accurate, I wonder?
I found it somewhat offputting that now (Monday morning) they are still
forecasting Sunday....
I'm not too fond of wind, so all the scudding clouds were rather
depressing.
Tried 'drying time': well, no washing for me this week...
Could have a chilly BBQ on Friday, though.
Then I tried the 'rest of 2005' link, which turned out in fact to be the
next 12 months - and found nothing but rain, with just a few isolated
sunny periods - now, that would really depress me, if I believed it....

I just took a look on that site at our postcode's forecast. Today's 9
am temperature is forecast as 8C, which matches my outdoor thermometer.
The "poor, 4hours " laundry-drying forecast this morning , is completely
wrong... it's windy with blue sky and bright sun, a perfect day for fast
wrinkle-free drying. And hoeing weeds.

Can you send me some please ?
We have rain again - and wind but I just accept that as part of living
here it's very rare for the fans to be turned off there is always a
'bracing breeze' :-))

I do hope Gatwick Basin has a plug, then, and that you can find it.
