Point taken. Given English isn’t your first language I’ll forget the somewhat undiplomatic reply.

Re: Climate forum

Is 15 years of data enough to confirm climate change is happening? I’ll upload a histogram later showing the average temperature for my station for each of those years. Not sure it will confirm anything of note. But I would like to see more discussion about weather / climate. Currently 98% of posts ...

Thanks Paul. Where did all those years go? My brother died in the June and bequeathed his Honda Civic to me. I still have it. Would be hard to let it go.

Hard to imagine Mark being a noobie! :lol:

Thanks Simon and Mark. It didn't seem like it at the time. I'd look 5 years younger if it wasn't the stress of worrying about components or hardware failing. ;)

You're not far behind. Spring 2010 was it?

Re: 15 Years

My 15 year anniversary of running Cumulus v1 is today. A few hardware changes of course including a new fan and SSD in my Samsung NC10 but miraculously the PC itself continues to perform remarkably well running XP. :clap: And a virtually continuous set of records over those 15 years only requiring m...

Re: spam

I am going to report this to phpBB as someone has found a way of hacking an existing account and adding Spam. It was I who reported it. Over at our flight sim site we found existing members had had their account broken into because of a silly password. “Password” or something similar. When spam is ...

Re: spam

I’m a moderator on a flight sim forum and we’ve had many spam emails relating to dating sites. The poster is immediately banned and the posts remain hidden.

I’ve seen similar posts across other flight sim sites including Lockheed-Martin. These sad people are a blight on society. :roll:

Re: April 2024 - meant to be my driest month of the year!

Watching the Met Office Deep Dives on YT this afternoon this wet weather seems to be down to Sudden Stratospheric Warming. Temps over the North Pole are now cooling and El Niño is also coming to an end. Signs are reasonable that high pressure will build next week. David, I thought it was bad here bu...

April 2024 - meant to be my driest month of the year!

Over 15 years of recording weather April has been the driest month by a long way. But this year we're in day 9 and I've not had a dry day yet. :roll: Low after low being transported across the UK like we're a magnet for them. 2.06" and counting which is 107% of that expected. And this year's ra...

Re: Solar eclipse April 8, 2024

The quality of coverage on Sky and CNN is abysmal. Not one person mentioned the diamond ring effect. The TV camera light in Indianapolis remained on so destroyed the effect of totality.

The producers haven’t got a bloody clue! :(

Re: Solar eclipse April 8, 2024

Paul, if your camera has video capability set it up to record the drop in light. It will be dramatic. The TV coverage is useless. No shots of the ground as the shadow approached.

Re: Solar eclipse April 8, 2024

Clear skies for eastern Canada! Enjoy the experience Paul. I observed the long total eclipse of 30 June 1973 onboard a ship moored off Mauritania. Over 6 mins of totality. You’ll remember it for the rest of your lives. :D
