Today (Thursday) was a bit rainy, with some pleasant light showers, and then (later in the evening) some gusty winds and stronger showers too. "Looks like there's stormy weather outside," I mentioned to a young journalist colleague this evening. "It's pleasant that way," was the reply. Many here love the rains (provided it doesn't rain too heavy.) Hope the Met Office has better equipment in place to tell us when we should be taking care. New Moon June 1, 2011.
