The Weather Thread.
Re: The Weather Thread.
As I clicked on this thread it had 6666 views, no idea if that's meaningful.
It's a full moon tonight, the Pink Moon, and it's just rising now.
The name Pink Moon comes from the pink flowers – phlox – that bloom in spring. Other names for this Full Moon are Sprouting Grass Moon, Fish Moon, Hare Moon (also used for May's full moon), Egg Moon (the Anglo-Saxon name), and Paschal Moon. These names all refer to the birth of spring with grass sprouting, birds laying eggs, fish being more plentiful, hares breeding, and people planting seeds.
The first Full Moon in April is also known as the Paschal Moon in the ecclesiastical (Christian) calendar, because it is used to calculate the date for Easter; the first Sunday after the Paschal Moon is Easter Sunday. The ancient Hare Moon and Egg Moon names are often referenced a potential reasons for the emergence of the modern Easter Bunny laying Easter eggs.
Since the Pink Moon occurs in Scorpio while the new moon occurred in Aries, this particular lunar cycle is immensely powerful.
This is because both Aries and Scorpio are ruled by Mars, the most fiery and passionate of the planets.
The growth that occurs between such incredibly potent moon phases can be immense.
Since the Pink Moon will also sextile the ringed planet Saturn, ruler of discipline and stability, delivers in astrology can expect to see long-term changes to place.
So this is the perfect full moon to reorganise your daily routine, reinforce your relationships, and cut out any bad habits.
It should be a clear night so there should be some good views.

The moon didn't look very pink yesterday, but it's very orange today.
Cheers, Harry
Re: The Weather Thread.
The moon looked great yesterday in Northumberland.
Re: The Weather Thread.
Who gives a fuck about that moon? If this is the weather thread, the main focus should be sunshine. Tomorrow is bbq day.
Re: The Weather Thread.
Had BBQs yesterday and today with a lot of our favourite Brazilian butcher's meat. Decent rump, beef and lamb sausage, and the other half's favourite - chicken hearts (not for me though). We still have steaks left for tomorrow but I can't be bothered with a third day of it, so will check in in the pan tomorrow and eat them normally.

Re: The Weather Thread.
I’ve had 2 BBQs today and I’m now lying in bed regretting it.

Full Moon tonight; you'll know this already by the cloud.
Re: The Weather Thread.
There was a partial eclipse of last night's full moon;

If I'd've noticed beforehand I'd've posted about it
A full moon tonight as well but it'll be boring in comparison (and cloudy).

It's fvcked into a cocked hat around here. I'm off to test the E91's wading abilities.
Re: The Weather Thread.
Lovely and toasty here in Croatia
Saturday wasn't. Had 14hrs of thunderstorms followed by non stop rain for the next 8or so hrs. Beautiful since though. Some of the T&L was epic! Joe's out of my skin a couple of times during the night when there was a massive clap over the villa

Re: The Weather Thread.
Just a bit windy here. Weather has not been much better either.

Re: The Weather Thread.
Had some rain in the early hours, then much windiness, currently 21° and mostly sunny.

Bloomin windy yesterday, but breezy today, nothing more than the odd light shower since Sunday.

Re: The Weather Thread.
This weekend's 'ard rock mountain bike enduro has been cancelled due to the flooding. The area where the camping would have been is in the background in the video below. If this flood had happened overnight with a full campsite I'm not sure the outcome would have been good.

We watched some fairly epic T&L storms over the Adriatic when we were there in 2015. Up in Istria, and I think the storms were over Venice. Awesome to watch whilst sat at the waterside bar.McSwede wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 6:03 pm Lovely and toasty here in Croatia

Several roads shut over here today, again, after they were shut a couple of days ago. Particularly bad are the relatively new build roads (A555 and A34) that have pumped sections. The pumps *always* fail under heavy load

Re: The Weather Thread.
The suggestion today was that the pumps on the A555 simply weren't up to the job. All the flooded areas of the A555 and A34 lie in cutting, and IIRC the A34 section is below the water table so permanently pumped.
I'm sure that somewhere the fvck up is in the commissioning of the pumping infrastructure.
