Very nice pic, was the rain equally dramatic? Been grey and drizzle here much of the day, boring and unphotogenicIndeed They don't call it The Cape Of Storms for nothing
Apparently on 13 June we had twice the average rainfall for the month of June in that one day.Very nice pic, was the rain equally dramatic? Been grey and drizzle here much of the day, boring and unphotogenic
Echoes of the discussion on the Fuji forum, extremes are becomong more frequent, no rain or too much.Apparently on 13 June we had twice the average rainfall for the month of June in that one day.
Since then it's been on and off showers and grey skies. It is our winter, so to be expected - but it was rather a hectic storm
Gerry, those of us in our 70s have seen these weather cycles occur a number of times over our lifetimes. There really is nothing extraordinary about them.Echoes of the discussion on the Fuji forum, extremes are becomong more frequent, no rain or too much.
Temperatures here for 2 days in the high 20s, now down to half that again .

I had my 78th birthhday last week, and have been growing vegetables in my garden(s) for nearly 50 years, and even in England's moderate climate it is becoming more difficult each year, with dry spells folowed by torrential rain.Gerry, those of us in our 70s have seen these weather cycles occur a number of times over our lifetimes.

Thank you both (and everyone) for being considerate - sharing observations is fine, speculations as to what causes what tend to get opinionated and/or political quickly, so it's very advisable to follow Gerry's lead here and stay away from them. Do remember the "No politics" policy, please.I had my 78th birthhday last week, and have been growing vegetables in my garden(s) for nearly 50 years, and even in England's moderate climate it is becoming more difficult each year, with dry spells folowed by torrential rain.
I think discussion of climate change on a photo forum is likely to get tedious and acrimonious, so I won't pursue it, but it does provide dramatic opportunities for photos, which Irene has taken very well.
