It's not the Met Office supplying the weather.
When is it going to stop... Raining

Two days is quite a short summer, even by our standards.

But you would think with all the technology at their disposal that they could do a better job of forecasting it!

Well my 2 day motorbike road trip was excellent! 400 miles and NO RAIN. Some kind of record for me 
.
Yesterday I took the westerly route to Grantown on Spey, via Loch Lomond, Crianlarich, Killin, Loch Tay, Tummel Bridge, Calvine, and Aviemore.
Easterly route home today (Tomintoul, Braemar, Blairgowrie, Perth, Glasgow).
(Not bad for 25 years old. Had only done 16k miles when I bought it just over a year ago. Have added another 4500 since then).
I have something of a guilt trip for not going on a cycling expedition, but when you only get a window of dry weather for 2 days, you need to travel quickly to see more of the country.

Find it more reassuring that they're still having to second guess Mother Nature.

Well, dull and overcast all day here, but dry.
Got a few jobs done in the garden
The commute tomorrow morning looks like the usual drizzle, I'm happy I had a day off without rain.

Torrential, biblical, monsoon-like downpour currently overloading the house gutters.
Dreadful weather.

Oh yeah, bone to pick with you @Brandane - I was up in South East Ayrshire at the weekend expecting the rain which I'd enjoyed as a bairn. Glorious sunshine all day on Saturday. Admittedly it was cloudy as I was leaving on Sunday, but no rain until I hit Carlisle.
I'm beginning to think you're making it all up to dissuade visitors...

August 2024 in our local area had 240% of it's average August rainfall (which in itself is quite high!).
Cycling mileage for August 2022 was 435 miles (13 rides). August 2024 - 59 miles (3 rides)! Says it all.

Only really stopped here now, but I'm flying out to Turkey for a week so prepare yourself for a cracking week of weather.
