BTW, "Ne'er cast a clout 'til May is out" is a rhubarb growers traditional convention.

It therefore suits you. :)

"I had a gust of 16.4 mph a short while ago." ... out of your bottom, no doubt, like the rest of your comments :p

Oh dear @C8H10N4O2 has a broken humorous bone.

Best be sensible.

Yes it is raining .... I say isn't the weather terrible this time of year? Ne'er cast a clout 'til May is out.

I should perhaps employ C8H10N4O2 as my editor.

I had a gust of 16.4 mph a short while ago.

Zeus controlled the weather in mythology...as you seem to imagine Prof Shepherd can do.

Correct my previous comment to "fool or troll".

Thank you to my loyal reader @C8H10N4O2 Please tell others - I am here all week

Hang-on ... it was YOU who first mooted that the Prof is not a mythological deity with the name, Zeus - clearly, otherwise he would be called The Professor Zeus ... surely? Do try to keep "on-topic".

Thanks for the "heads-up" @C8H10N4O2 however was Zeus not a climate expert?

Still think the chap should account for his time - weather is perfectly atrocious around Reading

@D6equj5 : he's a climate expert, not Zeus.

Wait just a minute - on April 30th the headline was "Climate expert joins University of Reading"

Not a very auspicious start for Professor Ted Shepherd who has been appointed Grantham Chair in Climate Science at the Department of Meteorology and the Walker Institute for Climate System Research.

Would be handy if the very Prof. Ted could bring us up to speed with exactly what he has been doing to the weather around Reading, since he arrived. If he needs a hand, my youngest would be happy to assist in the design of a Cloud Zapper Ray Pistol.
