Tom, can you set a side your grass cutting for a while and do the weather trend spreadsheet of previous years, down to a few weeks might as well start thinking about what to expect in the local area.

Hi Peter,

If I could remember what  I did with the Code I'd do it.   I'll have to have a hunt to see if I can find it.

The thing FS is on about  Was a Spread Sheet Like page that allowed you to see how good the predictions were.

When you look at a 15 day forecast how acurate is it?   For the 15th May they are currently forecasting Mostly Cloudy.  But who knows what it will really be.  My guess is that during the next 15 days that will vary quite a bit.

Any way I'll see what I can come up with.

OK I changed the copyright date :-)

I have no idea why MSIE is so naff I'll try to work out why it puts all that whitespace in the way.

I'm bit busy testing stuff for the new sever.  So progress may be slow on this one.

Just got back from the area, it looks nice and green to me! Saw lots of nice chateaus in a lovely spring sun, it is going to be alright this year. Bring sunscreen and a raincoat ;D

Well the page is starting to take shape.  & days worth of data now.  Though I'm not sure its worth much.

Over the last seven days the forecast for today has been pretty consistent.   With the Low being 13  apart from a 14 on May 1st and 12 today, the high being 23 till today where it's 22.

As for the other days the forecast is vastly different most times.   Take May 9th,  on Apr 30th the forecast was :-

Sunny and remaining warm
Low: 12 °C
High: 24 °C

now today it's :-

Cloudy, thunder storms; not as warm
Low: 12 °C
High: 19 °C

Though I guess what we're really on the look out for is Rain.  Well I think we had the rain last year.  So whilst there may be the odd shower  I think that it's going to to be fine in general.

Well looking at todays weather.

Up until yesterday there was no rain forecast.  and Now it';s rain trust the weather man to change his mind.

My intrest in weather comes from Flying and most pilots there are three useless things.

1) Sky above you.
2) Runway behind you.
3) Fuel in the Bowser.

And of course Good weather in the Forecast.

France is now a disaster zone.  Its been pissing it down all week and the rivers are bursting their banks.  The local papers show little old ladies being rescued in rubber boats.

And coming back, somewhere near Le Mans, the plane hit a thunderstorm, and I've been through turbulance before, but never so much negative G that you're hanging from the lap belt.  Anyway, its a disaster because I was holding a large gin and tonic at the time, and it went all over the underneath of the lockers, till normality was restored and then it went all over me.

PS  It just can't rain out there any more

It's going to be sunny and hot.

What do these weathermen know, they keep changing their minds.
They are worse than my wife in a shoe shop.
