The BBC has today launched a Weather Watchers site - you just join and send in daily (or whatever, up to 10 a day) reports of YOUR weather. There's a word for it, which escapes me :rolleyes: - not crowdfunding but crowd-something else.
They will build up a national picture from these reports, and pictures, to augment the usual weather forecast.
I've joined :nod:.

"Crowd something else" sounds fascinating and almost too good to miss but alas my hectic lifestyle leaves little time for telling Auntie "it are not raining" in my neck of the woods :(
However I have found time to note that we are into November and still haven't had a frost. I'm hoping this means we're into a mild winter rather than the opposite.

Was truly windy here this morning. Not so much of the wet stuff though. Never lashed down. Quite sunny in the afternoon.
