Some are predicting that we are in for a very cold winter here in the UK. Apparently it is, as always, due to the position of the jet stream.
See http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/436170/Worst-winter-for-decades-Record-breaking-snow-predicted-for-November . I am no fan of the Daily Express, but I wonder if they will be proved right?

Wonderful weather forecasting
According to the Met Office and BBC Weather apps, we are supposed to be experiencing a nice sunny evening here in Burwell. It is actually dark cloud and it has started to rain. Can the forecasters never get it right, despite their super-computers? I actually get very annoyed by the inability to correctly forecast the weather now, let alone a few days in advance. It seems the only time they get it right is when there is a big high pressure system overhead. In that weather one has only to look out of the window!
UPDATE 20.20pm local time: the sun is shining, the flowers smell beautiful, it is a lively end to the day.
PS Get Israel to make peace, not war.

UK weather
Today has been an odd day weather-wise. This morning we had thunder storms and torrential rain, whereas now we have bright, June evening sunshine, the sort of evening that makes you glad to be alive. I am about to go for my evening walk "around the block" about 400m. I do this twice a day to help my stroke recovery.
This afternoon I also managed to go to/from the Post Office and Chemist. which is further. In days gone by these walks would have been trivial. Not at present!
I have some new medicines for my sickness but it is too early to tell if this is more effective.

UK weather - appalling!
We seem to have no end to winter here in the UK: it has been hovering around 2-5 degrees daytime temperatures, sometimes even lower, for months and months now. This weekend we have yet more snow forecast! A few years ago we were bemoaning the lack of cold winters and lack of snow. Not any more. In about 9 days the clocks go to British Summer Time - but where is spring>
