Happy Monday despite the weather 2008-08-11 11:06:44 Happy Monday
dear visitors that are interested in the weather
in London. The forecast for the next few days is best summed up in this Billie Holiday cover by Martha Wainwright:
(Or at least it is in the title if not in the content: Stormy weather). If nothing else this should ease you nicely into the week.
If you want to see the gloomy forecast for the next weekend use the link.

Rain forecasted for Field Day in Victoria Park 2008-08-08 11:16:53 If you have had a look at this weekend’s weather forecast you will have seen that it is looking very rainy and wet. I am going to Field
Day in Victoria Park on Saturday so I will be getting my rain-kit out. My beloved trusty Hunter Wellington boots served me well in Glastonbury and I am sure they will do the job tomorrow.
Luckily Field Day in Victoria is only a one-day festival which means that
Will climate change cause floods in London? 2008-08-01 05:13:29 Currently I am thinking about purchasing a property with my boyfriend and one of the main questions facing us is where? I know houseprices are going down in the capital and all around the place, but we are not planning on buying to make a quick buck so we figure we should be ok.
A question that has been on my mind for some time is "what will the repercussions of the climate change be for London?"
My top 10 personal musical highlights and Glastonbury experiences in 2008 2008-07-28 05:35:40 Count down to the top 5! :
5. Vampire Weekend:They are so much fun and so danceable to that we went to see them not once but twice during the Glastonbury
weekend. Listened to their cd yesterday. Still loving it! If you like indie with melodies try this one out!
4. Strolls around the festival: There are so many wondrous people and places at Glastonbury – I cannot claim to have seen them all. The Read more:experiences

9. Cheap percussion instruments and other goodies: We bought some cheap percussion instruments from this shop that had a half-price sale on. What a goldmine! Of course the nights after that were a little noisier in comparison to the ones before. There were also Guardian and Yeo Valley Glastonbury
bags to be had. Wicked souve Read more:experiences
Glastonbury weather in retrospect 2008-07-10 04:35:43 I never told you about my experience of the Glastonbury
festival – and it has been two weeks already! I was dreading the weekend when the forecast got wetter and wetter. On Thursday afternoon I was sitting in the car observing my watch and the clouds – convinced that I knew the exact moment in time when it would start chucking it down – and I did!
It started off with some light showers as p Read more:weather
Downpours ahead! - It is officially time to pack your bags! 2008-07-08 09:13:04 According to the latest reports the next few months here in the UK will continue in the style of yesterdays downpours. According to weather experts we will see much more rain throughout the summer – wet and warm conditions with the odd sunny spells inbetween.
If you want sunshine you will have to pack your bags and seek distant shores. I myself am flying to Sweden next week and I am hoping for s Read more:ahead

Further summer gloom was predicted today by WeatherAction, a long-range forecaster which claims torrential rain will strike the country at the end of June and the start of July.
Piers Corbyn, a spokesman, said the Glastonbury
music festival and Wimbledon

After five years of rain , everybody is eagerly awaiting some nicer weather

Chelsea Flower Show in London enjoys the sunshine! 2008-05-20 10:02:20 For those of you who are thinking about going to see the Chelsea
Flower Show - not surprisingly it has now sold out, you will have to be a little faster next year. I only got the idea to visit it now that it is up and running – and I have missed out too.
For those who have never heard about it, here is some info on the world's most prestigious garden expo.

Bad weather warning 2008-08-12 11:02:57 Just a quick note of warning
… as you can see:
The weather
forecast looks very bad for the next few days. Therefore the Met has issued a severe weather warning not just for London, where 5mm of rain came down in the short space of time of two hours before even 7am!
(Proudly I can report that our very own weather station got wind (haha – bad pun!) of the rainy weather too – but it measured 14
Weatherstation is live... 2008-08-12 09:42:21 ... and not just any old weatherstation - to my knowledge the first central london private online weatherstation. Sounds like a mouthful - and it turned out to be a lot more difficult then initially expected!
Did you still believe it was going to happen? For a year I have been talking about the weatherstation going live, and finally - here it is!: Live weather transmitted from Bethnal Green in the
Typical behaviour of a mushroom forager! 2008-09-19 07:22:00 So back to the beautiful Fungi I started talking about in yesterday’s post about Mushrooms in Epping Forest
The problem with foraging for mushrooms is that people will not tell you where the good spots are. Why would they? You would then proceed to pick all their mushrooms. It is something that has made me laugh in the past when out foraging: You leave the house at 6am and try to get to the “g
Foraging for mushrooms in Epping Forest 2008-09-18 09:35:20 This week we have had lovely weather here in London. It has been a great start to an Indian Summer that is hopefully going to last for a long time. By the way, did you know that the expression ‘Indian summer’ has nothing to do with actual summer in India?
Anyway, this kind of warm weather in autumn is ideal for wild mushrooms – especially if it is following a period of rain.

your heating bill in the chilly London climate (or anywhere else for that matter

4. You have heard this before and it is good advice: washing clothes at 30°C can save 40% more energy than washing them at 40°C.

How to reduce your heating bill in the chilly London climate (or anywhere else for that matter) 2008-09-11 05:41:07 We are moving towards autumn with fast paces as you can easily tell by the way the days are getting shorter and the temperature going down (Yes, these are the symptoms of autumn).
Not only do we spend more time indoors in the cold months of the year but we also require more electricity for warm water and heating. With the economy going down hill and rising prices it is a good idea to look at ways Read more:matter

Climate and weather in London in 2071 2008-09-10 08:26:00 Browsing the internet I found this interesting post about the way London will look in 2071, which is based on this even more interesting (although already one year old) article about climate change and the weather

Basically the article describes how the climate of London will resemble the current climate of Vila Real by then, which means tha Read more:Climate
Months worth of rain to hit London on Friday - rainy weekend ahead 2008-09-04 10:26:07 The London weekend weather forecast has been better:
Met office forecasters are predicting that there will be a heavy storm tomorrow from the Atlantic, that will bring lots of rain along. Lots mean 1.9in which is 5cm!!!
This is unbelievable as I look out of the window now... the sun is out, there is hardly any wind and there are just a few remote clouds in the sky!

Cold weather moves in – and everyone has a cold (including me) 2008-10-07 11:12:51 Over the last week suddenly everything has changed. It seems that everyone
has suddenly given up believing in the summer and warm weather
and resigned themselves to winter and misery. One person after the other has succumbed to a measly common cold and finally even me.
As I sit here with my medical supplies around me I try and find the beauty in autumn. Pretty landscape with beautifully coloured t Read more:moves
Sun is out but chilly 2008-10-27 10:37:32 Today we had much better weather here in central London. It was cold, granted, but at least we could see the sky! No more overcast mugginess, well at least for the time being! When it’s overcast and muggy it seems to reflect people’s personalities. Overcast and muggy people are not the best of people to push up to during the rush hour in the tube carriage! I’ve also noticed a direct correlat
What happened to the summer? 2008-10-20 06:55:23 One day early spring I was sat in central London in one of the many beautiful parks enjoying the beautiful summer sun! It was a lovely day and I was really looking forward to the summer being a good one as the “2007 summer” was quite frankly awful! Low and behold 2008 really wasn’t that much better! We had about 2 weeks of good weather before it started all going wrong. I think next year I
Blame it on the weather 2008-10-09 07:41:44 So the day before yesterday I had just blamed the weather
for my cold, when I stumbled across this amusing yet true news article that has appeared in the telegraph. I think Philip Eden has a point.
In the article he describes how more and more, politicians, scientists and really everyone use the weather as a scapegoat for their own failures, rather than putting their hands up and admitting their i Read more:Blame
Week after fireworks night and it's cold 2008-11-12 11:55:13 Well fortunately I bought myself a new duvet at the weekend, and just as well! The start of the week has been horrible. Raining very hard, dull weather and we’ve not seen much of the sky for what seems like ages! I love to see the sky on a winter’s night, although cold, a winter’s night sky can be very beautiful, looking up at a cold crystal clear sky can be very romantic!

Winter is truly here 2008-11-07 04:59:15 During the past few days I’ve really noticed the nights have been drawing in and the weather is getting noticeably colder, last week we really hit a cold front! It was very cold over the weekend, we battoned down the hatches and locked all heat in the house! The heating even came on for the 1st time in ages! But fortunately it warmed up slightly this week. It just goes to show what we’ve got i Read more:truly
