Nice weather for ducks
There were storms in Chiswick. My PC power supply stopped working because of a transient overvoltage caused by lightning. the outlook is still uncertain. For June, the weather is pretty grim. Where’s global warming when you need it? As a pilot, I collect weather websites and here are a few useful ones for weatherholics like me.
- UK Met Office: www.meto.gov.uk
- Meteo France: www.meteo.fr
- KNMI (Dutch met office): www.knmi.nl
- Meteo Suisse: http://www.meteosuisse.admin.ch
- The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. I went there once - it’s a little bit of Europe just outside Reading and they have some really cool supercomputers.
- US NOAA’s National Weather Service worldwide METARs and TAFs: http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/index.php (Type EGLL for Heathrow weather and EGWU for Northolt - the closest station to where I live.)
- Plus a couple of pilot specific sites: AvBrief (which I use a lot), Avbrief for PDAs and phones, and the USAFE European weather forecasts.

This is the very reason they changed the phrase “global warming” to “climate change”, it’s not simply a euphemism for essentially the same thing a la “Windscale to Sellafield”, it reflects the very uncertainty about local weather patterns that climate change could bring. Of course, it’s all b*ll*cks anyway, climate change is just another excuse to slap us with higher taxes and enable the Green Junta to undertake a political coup d’etat on a global scale.
