cracking flags mon.....

 

if this is global warming,will do for me....

 

im of to the beach.

 

ill keep an eye out swimming policemen.

Absolutely devastating

Jesus, that's terrible. We were watching lightning maps just before that- they were all over around west lancs.

Poor bugger.

That is absolutely awful.

 

What a bloody shame for the poor lad, so tragic. R.I.P.

Poor lad.  RIP 

Heart goes out to the family, coaches and kids who witnessed it. RIP little fella. 🥲

I’ve been told it was a one-to-one coaching session for extra practice. 

Hope there’s no blame tried to be thrown anywhere, couldn’t be a more freak occurrence. 

My kids had been on a playing field a couple of miles away playing footy on a dog walk with our peg at exactly the same time and bailed when the rain came. Nobody could foresee something like that

I’ve not seen lightening like that here for ages, zig zags across the sky and could see it in the distance touching ground. Mad to think of those killed the poor boy.

My lads team are sorting a tribute/donation for him as all other kids teams. Lad played for Spirit of youth at under 10’s. Same league as my lad. 

Gave my boys an extra hug or two last night and this morning.

It is, literally, a million to one chance.

Blaming anyone would be warped.

Absolutely heartbreaking when you see the lovely work what the poor little lad did earlier in the year 😢 💔

Such a fucking shame 😒 😪 

Is summer coming or what? This weather is matching my fucking mood.

I normally don't mind gloom and rain but I've had enough of it now, bbq is out today even if there's a frigging hurricane.

Don't say that you'll trigger the people who claim to have Seasonal Affective Disorder 😄

Just been on the radio they are forecasting the wettest summer since record began and by some distance. Total washout was the terminology used 

That said it’s fucking glorious up here today and has been since Thursday 😎

That's just because the parties are slowly returning and everyone's horny as fuck. I'm hoping for a total washout myself this summer.

Are these long term forecasts ever right?

Anything over 10 days tend to be a bit unreliable, though the long term ones seem to be good for general trends. The weather models do agree it is going to be a cooler than average summer

For isolated forecasts 3 days is your absolute max.

For where the jet stream is going to be and all the shit that happens in southern/Western Hemisphere that dictates our shit, they are usually a good guide to the generic weather across our lands. 

Last thing we want is warm low pressure shit heading up to us. Need the jet stream to sort it’s head out.

 

Not arsed if we don't get 30⁰C plus temps.

20-25 is plenty.

Some rain, some sun and some freedoms.
