[Rosie] Oooh. I also use www.buienradar.nl, plus the weather station belonging to the neighbour over the road, which has its own website and tweets - telling me if my washing is getting rained on while I’m 40km away at work.

(pen) And if it is?

[Rosie] This morning, yes. No rain on the rain radar but I forgot to check the drizzle radar.

This morning's weather, according to Dutch parlance, is 'sour apples' - autumnal weather when it should be summery.

(pen) It will very soon be sunny like it is here, 24°C and a bit of a breeze. Nice.

Just come back from thereabouts and had rain most of the time, but it was warm rain.

It got up to 30.2° today in the grounds of Plas Huws. Just after 5 pm a southerly breeze sprang up and the temperature dropped an almost instant 4 degrees. This must be the sea breeze - unusual because it doesn't normally reach this far north.
