HCC 2nd Team Vs Tantobie away Sat 27th Aug

[MacRowners]

Apparently statistically it has been an average summer! I think a lot more Saturday than Sunday games have been called off though.

IT'S OFFICIAL


The feeling that it always rains at weekends may be more than just a myth about the weather.
New research shows weekends are wetter. The cause, scientists suspect, is the build up of pollution during the week, resulting in rain at the weekend.




Dr Randall Cerveny explains what the findings mean
"We knew that cities have an effect on local weather with urban heat islands and so forth, and people are pretty sure that we're having a general global effect with carbon dioxide," said Dr Randall Cerveny of Arizona State University.

"But nobody had ever looked at the in-between area of large-scale regional weather. We appear to be affecting global weather on a scale that is comparable to El Nino."

Together with Robert Balling, Dr Cerveny examined rainfall in the Atlantic Ocean between 1979 and 1995 by analysing global satellite data.

As expected the ocean as a whole was unaffected by which day of the week it was.

But they found that the results were very different closer to the shore.

The region just off the heavily populated east coast of the US was soaked at weekends.

Does it always rains at music festivals?
On Saturdays there was about 22% more rain than on Monday

So we all take Mondays off then!
