We're suffering from rain measles - bright red spots of intense rain on the radar and so lots of water arriving in the garden lake outside

I've always been a fan of the European Centre's Medium range Weather Forecast (ECMWF). Their model is the gold standard for computer weather forecasts. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute and NRK (the Norwegian Broadcast System) have teamed up to produce a new website to display weather forecasts for virtually anywhere in the world. Here's the detailed forecast for Victoria, B.C. Enter your location in the Search box, and then bookmark the site for future reference. As you can see, you can display a summary forecast, a highly detailed forecast, a UV forecast (under the Nearby tab) or a weather map.

They produced the new website in December, but I have been downloading the data from their old site, which is soon to disappear. I had to spend a few hours this morning to decode their HTML file so as to display the data as text.

Enjoy!

My report is somewhat more home-spun:
May:
several hot water bottle nights
a few extra fleece over the duvet nights
numerous 'too wet to go out's
several 'too wet to go on the grass' days
also several 'don't put your arms out you'll get blown clear into the next county' days
sunshine - probably in the South of France

High at my house yesterday was 31.7. Currently it's 30.7 and looking like it will be hotter then yesterday. This is much above average, but not unusual for this time of year.

Went to a friend's for dinner.
Shortly after I arrived, there was a torrential downpour and some hail. Then the power went out. Fortunately, he has a backup generator which was installed after a winter when he was without power (and heat) for several days.

Luckily, I did not lose power.
