The weather ball says it all

A wonderfully dramatic forecast from Tomasz at lunchtime-- forget a Patrick Stewart Shakespearean soliloquy! I love it when Tomasz does a schematic {i} for us, and takes the trouble to explain salient weather systems to us. Not just that; but he does it an engaging and accessbile way, without dumbing-down.

The weather front in question is a large low, which is occupying the British Isles over the next few days, bringing much-needed rain-- but also unseasonably strong gales. This is owing to the North Atlantic jet stream, driving these systems over us. Oh, OK... I'll let His Loveliness explain... this from 13:57-- thanks Terratec



The beginning shows that Tomasz is out of this world-- but we already knew that! Of course love him for his jovial banter and looking goregous on a certain Sunday forecast: However he's equally awesome when being more serious and informative. Is there anything he's not good at? [Admiring sigh]. Is it me, or was Tomasz looking tanfastic today?

Oh, yes a droll pun with the word "hut"; recalls the great days of Richard Whiteley don't you think? I still shed a tear when I hear the words "tangelo" and "leotard", or drive through Wetwang. Indeed Tomasz is very "hut" himself and can "spill" and "pulse" his precipitation on to me anyday, and he definitely has more than half an inch to offer.

{i} There's a word The Schaf has taught me!

Ring of fire

Alas it looks as though Tomasz will be away from our screens a little longer: Judging by his Twitter, he was due to jet off on his holidays. If did that now, he'd get clogged up with sulphur and ash-- and we don't want that happening.

Instead he's having a "home-cation"... there's one for Suzie Dent-- she did declare "staycation" as one the words of 2009. She'll be uttering Tomasz's coinage on Countdown before we know it {i}

Anybody blessed with nice sunsets? They have been nice round my way, but a bit lacklustre sadly-- seen better ones. I doubt The Schaf would be interested in my pictures of slightly peachy-coloured sun setting over the dreaming towerblocks of Nottingham.

However if you do have an impressive sunset pic, they are welcome on his Fbk page or via website. Who needs a vivid sunset, when Tomasz is out of this world!



{i} Although I haven't watched said programme since Ricko left us. I still shed a tear when I hear the words tangelo or leotard. And I can't drive through Wetwang anymore (bang go my day-trips to Great Driffield)
