I’m not going to moan about the weather, because I honestly think that over time the good and bad average out. But if you are going on holiday to the seaside for two weeks of your precious annual leave with your cherubs in tow, the last thing you want is rain coming down like a bad day at Niagara Falls, and wind howling off the sea like a banshee when the black death is in town.
Last week, in the middle of summer in August, a student was blown off the top of a cliff to his death in Aberystwyth; it was on the front of the local paper and everything. There hasn’t been a proper sunset here all month - the picture above is from May. This is the best one we’ve had this month, from about 2 weeks ago, and it only lasted about 10 minutes (note the ominous black clouds about to close like curtains over the sun):
Some people still deny that climate change, or global warming, is happening. With an Everest of information demonstrating it and the weather we’ve had in the UK in the last decade, I struggle to see how they do it with a straight face.
Cheers, Tom.
