Back from Malta

Just got back from holiday in Malta, 10 days of glorious weather, clear warm seas, no language issues, driving on the left and friendly people, what's not to like, especially if like us you enjoy snorkelling!

Useless weather forecast

On Friday on the strength of both the Met Office and the BBC weather forecast for Norwich I postponed a vehicle shoot I had arranged for Saturday to Sunday. Saturday turned out to be rather less wet than forecast, but as Sunday was supposed to be dry I was sure that I had made the right decision. Come Sunday however I set off in the gloom at 8am and as I approached Wisbech it began to rain, probably just a passing shower I though and so I pressed on. By the time I'd reached Kings Lynn it was raining steadily so I stopped and checked the rainfall radar on my mobile, to my horror the whole of East Anglia was socked in with rain, the only ray of light lay with an apparently dry area just around my destination.

I decided to press on which proved to be a major mistake, by the time I arrived the dry area had gone and it was raining steadily. I pressed on with my shoot with the help of the cars owner holding an enormous umbrella over me but I'm not optimistic that the results will be usable. So how is it that these two organisations continually lecture us on how warm the planet is going to be in a few years time when they can't even get the weather right less than 24 hours ahead! Useless the pair of them.
