Any one started to look at long range forecasts yet? Or am I just getting a bit excited.....

But I would not bother till 10 days or so before.

Have we found a replacement for the cat yet?

Beat me to it; first thought! Not sure the weather cat can be ‘replaced’ but an alternative diviner is needed…

I was thinking of a Red Sausage barometer? and a Wind Sock

Metcheck has a long range forecast . It’s quite amusing watching it change

I don’t want to get ahead of myself but it’s look pretty good at the minute if Accuweather is to be believed.

The Saturday rain is looking like an anomaly. Otherwise it is looking quite decent.

Kiters did the puss get replaced? Must be bank holiday tent test weekend

[DMN]

Accuweather looking warmer, but rain Sunday and Monday.

Sadly no replacement puss yet ,but we have a small pond now and we sometimes get 1 or 2 frogs in there but then for no apparent reason
there are 5 or 6 all together. This seems to happen just before a change in the weather could be goer for weather prediction.

I'll keep you posted

So here’s the thing 7 frogs in the small pond last night 2 weeks or so of dry weather then it rains through the night mmm maybe we have something here 🤣

[Oldwolf]

Are we allowed to use frogs to forecast French weather?

ah yes good point maybe in the spirit of Entente Cordiale they should be referred to as Garden Amphibeans

[Northcote67]

At the moment it looks as if the weekend will be scorchio - https://www.metcheck.com/WEATHER/180days.asp?Month...

I like the sound of the frog test. Almost scientific compared to feline witchcraft

[kiters42]

We have some weather coming our way this weekend so I can do some calibration with the
GA's(garden amphibians) to nail down the predictive weather chart.

Think the chart will go something like this

7 or more GA's in pond - predicts a wet one
6 GA's in pond - some showers
5 GA's in pond - warm weather maybe a shower
4 GA's in pond - hot weather clear skies
3 or less GA's in pond - Scorchio !

Usual caveats apply as like with the cat garden amphibians can be notoriously unreliable

Incidentally, do you have a cat? Because from our own experience, having a cat can also affect the number of (live) GAs in one's pond...

[kiters42]

No cat now but we do get one or two sneak around the garden though

Obviously this is just a backup/corroboration to the official forecasters, but has GavsWeatherVids supplied his Le Mans forecast yet?
