lesman Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Any thoughts on a weather forum to cover all of France, will help with travel, house building,and in the garden etc.lesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 But surely this would only work if someone in every commune sent in a weather report 2 or 3 times a day. It's bad enough to get people to report precipitated dihydrogen monoxide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 If you have a question about the weather in your area, just ask it. [:)] As most of us are Brits, you will get responses, but really, a 'weather' section would be OTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owens88 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 As far as I can see regional forums (fora?) are not particularly active. But Brits like to talk about weather so perhaps something regional might improve the activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Owens88, Do you mean if the OP or others post their questions about the weather in the relevant sections that would 'improve' activity, or are you saying something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 http://www.meteofrance.com/FR/mameteo/prevPays.jsp?LIEUID=FRANCEIf the OP just wants a weather report, click on the Living France logo at the top of the page and the above link appears when you click on 'Weather' on the left.Members do answer more general weather related questions in the regional forums or even, sometimes the gardening section.

Just Katie Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Wales. Typically spring. Sun trying to come through. Quite cold. Type of day to go up the cemetary. Really wanting to wear summer clothes. Feeling cheated. Some people are in summer clothes pretending and hoping for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have to be in the area to be interested in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesman Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Any chance we can swap, unfortunately im in Lincolnshire, mostly wet today, cool, stopped raining at the moment, talks of being better this weekend. So you can see the weather gets people talking and can be very interesting with extreme weather.lesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a lovely idea to talk about the weather especially for us in UK just to imagine the warm breezes and blue skies. Hey, Frenchies keep it coming.

Dick Smith Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Well, it has been lovely here today. All day it has been daylight. It hasn't rained yet. The isobars are barring, and the weather fronts aren't backwards at coming forwards. I think I saw some cirrus cloud (or was it cirrhosis or did the windows just need cleaning?).zzzzzzzzz.Sorry, but I think the idea of sending in weather reports is tedious beyond belief!

Over here in Lincolnshire you only need to hear a wisper about snow and before you know it there forcasting blizzards.Look at how the weather effects peoples moods,another reason for leaving England.lesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-cat Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I have asked about the weather a couple of times. It is the most important factor in our move. Because of my back I'm bent double for about 10 months a year in Northern Ireland, with the cold, damp & sodding misreable weather - but I can't move somewhere with roasting hot summers, as I can't go in the sun without being covered up!! Checking out the weather on a day to day basis is ok, but isn't much good if you are worried about what the weather might be in 6 months time. Comments about the climate - all year round - would be a God send to folks, like me, who are trying to find the most suitable place to move to. Miserable old codgers need not reply!!

Dick Smith Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 In which case I don't think you ask on a discussion forum - there are plenty of places to get seasonal average weather patterns. On a forum any response can only be from one, very small area. The number of areas, and their disposition, is random, so you would have absolutely no confidence in the outcome. Let some geographers do all the hard work for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I know that this is really sad - but - I have been keeping a record of the weather & temps etc for the last 5 months in 4 different locations around Charente/Dordogne. According to the Met office, it was 18 degrees yesterday in one partictular area & I've just found out it was actually 26 degrees!! I need to get a life - don't I??
