Seeking Expert Advice

 We need to get ourselves down to the Meeting House this morning. There's light rain at present and I want to know whether walking will be unpleasant so I call up a weather forecast. The site has a map with digitalised weather systems jerking across it. The sea is blue (of course) so they need to have a different colour for the weather systems- and they've gone with green. It's like ragged clouds of poison gas are drifting over Europe. 

The map doesn't show any clouds over us- but I look out my window and something is blocking out the sun. The site hosts various conflicting opinions. In one place it says rain will stop at 10.45. In another place it says expect rain all morning.

Even as I write the rain stops and the cloud cover lightens.

Oh, we'll walk...

I rely on the Met Office app on my mobile phone. It's pretty good, though obviously not infallible. But the Met forecast plus popping my head out of the back door and assessing the sky towards the west is good enough most days.

Today's forecast wasn't too far out. We got more sunshine than predicted, but rain turned up around 4 o'clock as the app said it would.
