Our “Weatherman in the Village” writes:
As many PARWICH.ORG readers will know, one of the many things Mike Goulden will be remembered for was his weekly contribution to the blog, from “The Weatherman on the Hill”. His diligent recording of the weekly weather statistics and his insightful forecasts were a regular feature for many years, and they will be sadly missed.
As my own small tribute to his contribution, I will to try to continue that tradition, albeit from a slightly different (maybe more benign) location in the centre of the village. I can’t promise to be as punctual and regular as Mike was, but I will aim for a weekly posting.
So, this week sees the first report from “The Weatherman in the Village”. As Mike did, I will try to post weekly statistics, along with a short commentary on the past week and the prospects for the coming period. Please be aware that these observations are from my own instruments (the same ones which give you live data at www.weatherlink.com/user/parwich) and although I will make every effort to ensure they are accurate, I can only say any forward looking statements are my own subjective views. I think on balance it will be good to maintain an anonymity in this, as I can see any invitations to barbecues in the future evaporating fast, if you all really knew who it was who had such little insight into the weather!
So, down to business. As you will see, Parwich wasn’t immune from the torrential downpours earlier in the week, but apart from that, temperatures are pretty near seasonal norms. The coming week looks unremarkable for early October, with near seasonal normal temperatures, and a mixture of showers, a little cloud break and wind, with perhaps more rain on Wednesday/Thursday. Continuing unsettled.
