One of my staff arrived at the office
grumbling humorously about the weather.
In answer to my protest that the sun
was shining brightly, her justification was the unpredictability of it all.
As I then explained, we’re in that traditional
season of perfect propagation weather - alternating sunshine and rain.
What I find remarkable is that it’s in
the right place this year.
In recent past years it has been all
over the place - two months early, two months late. I’m all for innovation but some things in
life that we have to plan ahead depend on being able to take a reasonably good
stab at knowing what the weather will be like.
So, is it all back to “normal”? If so, why?
I suggested this morning that perhaps
it’s because almost everything in the world is now being manufactured on the
other side of the planet. The upside of
us having nothing to do here is that we are getting our weather straightened
out again.
OK, I realize globalization isn’t
quite that simple. Still, I‘m looking forward
to the time that my best friend comes scuttling back from the Far East with the
explanation that the climate here is so much better...
