MEETING & GREETING WITH A "WEATHER COMMENT"

When I used to record the weather for the Met Office, it was considered important to give an accurate written description of the weather to support the facts & figures you were submitting (part of quality control )


A fair description of this morning's weather would thus have been something along the lines,


"Cloudy, odd spits of rain, very cool for May & a bit breezy"


After all, it was pretty much the same as yesterday morning & that temperature proved to have been colder than 29 out of the 31 days of March this year!!!


So I was a little bit surprised this morning, to be greeted by someone, looking at the sky, then remarking, "not bad, is it?"


Well, maybe not, had it been January or February!!
