Title: Weather men.
Post by: Klean07 on September 16, 2015, 03:47:18 pm
I've noticed just lately that the weathermen are getting the forecast wrong quite a few times! Take last night for example every forecast including my local one said we would be getting a months rain in a day today! Well I've worked all day today in a t-shirt and its almost 4pm and sun is still out!  ??? ???

The weather forecasts are that useless I've stopped even looking at the forecast. I do my own looking at the sky at night, Wake up and,if it's not absolutely bouncing it down, off I go.

No point mate as the rain would have ruined all your work. You did the right thing.

The rain will not ruin any work - that is an old wifes tail.............
I guarantee you that it is BETTER to clean in the rain rather than the sunshine :o

An excerpt from my book "Let your windows do the talking"

"When is the best time to clean windows?
Surprisingly – in the rain! When it is raining there is no dust flying around – “wet dust cannot fly” and cannot therefore stick to glass.
Rainwater is very clean – much cleaner than tap water and will NOT affect the window cleaning process.
When it is sunny and windows are being cleaned the windows are left wet – dust particles can easily “stick” to the glass helped by the water and the dry environment around the building."
