strictly speaking they were here all the time. It's just that they were obscured by an impenetrable layer of cloud

    That would be very good news for the start of the Olympic Games : it would be pretty depressing if the first few days (including the Opening Ceremony) took place in cold weather and torrential rain.

    That would fit Danny Boyle's Opening Ceremony theme though! :D

    All the hard work of HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program)

    It diagnosis instruments that can be used to observe the physical processes that occur in the excited region. therefore can control the weather :)

    Good timing. I've got next week off work and I'd dearly like to spend it playing golf :)

    Great value for money at less than half a billion dollars, no?

    what a waste of money. i could tell them all about the physical processes in the excited region. Almost a lifetime's study in fact. Not just theoretical, but hands on, also

    Gotta be the dullest first half of July, ever recorded. Not just by a bit, but by a country mile. Edinburgh only recorded 1.6 hours of Sun ~ IN JULY !!!

    Even the worst Summers have been better than this, so far. Never has the dullness and wetness been quite so sustained.

    Actually, I think it might become very nice. Just fine, dry and warm, without being absurdly hot.
