The weather in Britain is unpredictable at the best of times, but this as they say really takes the biscuit. It all went down hill more or less from Tuesday with things becoming progressively worse as the week wore on. By Saturday it all seemed to peak when driving winds and a continuous down pour of heavy rain just refused to dissipate.
With the wind having finally blown itself out and shorter periods of rain fall, today is markedly better - there’s even a hint of blue sky cutting through the clouds! Going by the Met Office’s forecasts there should be a couple of hours or so of clear skies at around 03:00 am on Monday morning. I’ve been dying to get out and shoot some more star trails in the south east with the slim hope of catching a stray Taurid or Orionid. If the prediction from the Met Office holds out I may get my chance, although the way the weather has been recently, I’m not holding my breath.
