It's Cold Wet and Windy

I'm missing the weather on St Helena, it used to be fairly reliable and consistent - not necessarily nice all the time but at least I knew what to expect.

Here I sit in my flat looking through the skylights at the glorious sunshine, listening to the wind howling, and then when I go out it seems to be tipping with rain, but with little wind. Of course at other times it's the other way round, and sometimes it's the same out the window as it is outside...

Everyone seems mesmerised by weather forecasts and very critical of when they aren't accurate. but are they ever accurate? I think the only ones which get it right are the ones on Newsnight (which I saw on Have I go News for You) where he forecast was along the lines of:

"It's genarally wet and windy, except when it's not. With sunny spells, except where there aren't"
