Mira Farka, associate professor of economics, discuss the distortions imposed on the economy by a zero-interest rate policy during the 2015 Economic Forecast.
This is the first full Weather forecast I've posted, usually confining myself to stills. But Molly Brewer is one of my favourite reporters, and the little wiggle she does at the end makes this a memorable debut.

In September 2013, ten agricultural stakeholders from Colombia traveled to Kaffrine, Senegal for a weeklong south-south learning exchange. Delegates from Colombia included officials from the rice and cereals sector (FEDEARROZ and FENALCE), the national meteorological institute (IDEAM), and the National University of Colombia. The exchange was supported by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture and the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). Kaffrine, Senegal is a focal CCAFS research site and global leader in topics such as climate information services and seasonal forecasting.

Shopping mall screens showing the weather forecast w/ bad design making it fairly useless to anyone.
1 - the screens are inside a mall in Helsinki, yet they show general forecast to whole Finland, and
2 - The literal design (familiar from TV) is mostly incomprehensible on urban screens.
We were in The Lake District for the August Bank Holiday, great weather for walking but very busy – unlike the last Bank Holiday - where we had Great Gable to ourselves after a bad forecast kept people away. It was grim back home but we walked in shorts and Tee shirts.
Saturday and we were in the Old Dungeon Ghyll car park and away in good time. What a beautiful morning, we headed up Redacre Gill onto Pike of Blisco. The first climb of the day is always tough until the blood gets flowing. I didn’t really have a plan but it wasn’t what we did that’s for sure. I’d thought that we would walk until early afternoon and then head down, probably from Rossett Pike – But! Jayne made a call to her Mum from Pike of Blisco and she asked if we would be going over the Langdale Pikes – Jayne said yes! I looked at her and said “will we?” I was a bit surprised as it is a pretty full on walk – what we call a two Banana walk – and we only had one. She couldn’t believe that I was letting her off without doing the whole circuit of Langdale. We have done this walk before but usually in the opposite direction. There is a lot of slow and tough ground, ten tops ( depending on where exactly you go in the Langdales) over 15 miles and over 6000ft of ascent – a decent walk. The atmosphere was very clear for August, things had turned prematurely Autumnal last week so instead of warm weather haze it was very clear. We could make out buildings on the Isle of Man, we could also see rain in the distance, over Morecambe Bay and out in to The Pennines. It rained over there for hours and you can see it in the background in a lot of the photos.
We walked from Pike Of Blisco across Red Tarn to Cold Pike onto Crinkle Crags – Including the bad step. On Crinkle Crags we met a very Fit 65 year old from London, wiry and experienced, we crossed paths and walked with this guy for quite a while, it slowed us all down a bit but it didn’t matter. Bow Fell for sandwiches and our one banana. We picked our way down Hanging Knotts, the direct route to Rossett Pike. When there isn’t a well-worn path on the direct route there is always a reason – because it’s hard usually! This was the start of the second half of the walk but the afternoon was ticking by, if we were doing it I wasn’t prepared to cut corners and miss any tops so were committed to the whole thing.
We had a long slog over Rossett Pike, It’s a long fell, across Stake Pass and Martcrag Moor. After the dry summer and a wet August the fells were noticeably wetter underfoot and Martcrag was very boggy. Onto Pike of Stickle and Loft Crag. By mid-afternoon the Langdales were very busy with large family groups, every top had a small crowd on it, we took a photo and enjoyed the view and moved on – briskly! My old knee and ankle injuries were starting to tell a story by now but there wasn’t much I could do about it. Across to Harrison Stickle and I decided to include Thunacar Knott as it’s a short easy diversion on the way to Pavey Ark. Stood at the top of Pavey Ark looking over Stickle Tarn I knew that it was going to be a long painful descent – and it was. The mile or so from the New to the Old Dungeon Ghyll wasn’t so bad as there is a path through the fields which was nice and gentle on my aching joints. Eight hours wasn’t bad as we never hammered it, just wanting to enjoy our first big day on the tops for quite a long time. The golden Rule in Ambleside was calling – after a shower.
On Sunday we had another beautiful start although there was a fair bit of cloud later. We drove over Kirkstone Pass and down to Hartsop, there’s a little car park up the dead-end road through the village, it’s only small and you need to be there early, it was already filling as we got there. We had a tough first climb up the nose of Hartsop Dodd, steep but fantastic views. I’d thought long and hard about how to make the most of the fine forecast for today and views from the first climb proved that it was worth it. The day took us over 17 miles and fourteen tops, the ground was easier than yesterday so we finished an hour sooner but it was still a tough day.
Caudale Moor, Stoneycove Pike, down to Threshthwaite Cove, an out and back to Gray Crag and a quick early sandwich on Thornthwaite Crag. High Street, were most walkers never go near the summit but bypass it on the main path – something that’s true of a lot of tops and a lot of walkers – each to their own. Rampsgill Head out and back to High Raise and Kidsty Pike, back to Rampsgill Head and onto The Knott, Rest Dodd. We normally do an out and back to The Nab on this walk but not today, it might have caused some friction wi’ our Jaynie. Across Satura Crag to Brock Crags, we only had the twin tops of Angletarn Pikes to go and we were done with the tops. I usually find Angletarn Pikes hard work at the end of a long walk but we used a different path this time and they didn’t’ seem so bad. The problem with this walk is that you think it’s all over now but it’s a long fast yomp back to the car- around three miles with a little bit of climbing as well, it certainly magnifies the aches and pains.
Monday was forecast to be wet, very wet the further south you went so we headed north. It rained over breakfast and we feared the worst, gale force wind were also forecast and sure enough the trees outside the dining room were straining at the leash. I t might have to be a short leg stretcher. We headed for Keswick and parked below Dodd. We were the only ones there, gales and rain and it was the day of the Keswick show ( Grasmere Games and traffic gridlock yesterday) The rain stopped but it was a dark and grey day. We creaked our way up Dodd with aching legs, I don’t think Jayne was impressed but we plodded up Carl Side, battered by the wind. Once on Carl Side we were wind propelled along Long Side and over Ullock Pike. There was a bit of blue in the sky to the north and a bit of sun but not much. We descended via The Edge and back along Longside Wood. Nearly seven miles and 2000 ft of ascent.
Over two and a half days we climbed almost half the height of Everest, stood on 28 tops and walked 40 miles ( we clocked a couple of evening miles) we used to do eight day weeks in the Lakes with every day a full on day but over the last few years we haven’t made the effort to travel up there, we need to get our act together – and some new knees!
The fourth global ‘dialogue platform’ for humanitarian forecast-based financing (FbF), supported by the German government and the German Red Cross (see drk.de/en/forecast-based-financing) was hosted by the IFRC in Geneva on 13–15 December 2016. At least ten national government ministries or weather services were represented and at least 15 Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies, as well as interested UN agencies, insurance companies and other stakeholders. The meeting heard a call from Germany’s Federal Foreign Office for other donors to jointly support the innovative humanitarian methodology over the next few years. IFRC Under Secretary General for Programmes and Operations, Garry Conille, who visited the platform on its third day, said “we are extremely excited about forecast-based financing” and looking at how to work it into the IFRC system. The twice-yearly dialogue platforms gather governments, meteorologists, climate scientists, humanitarians and donors as part of the German action plan for humanitarian adaptation to climate change. FbF is being piloted by the Red Cross Red Crescent with German support in Bangladesh, Mozambique and Peru (Federal Foreign Office), and in Togo and Uganda (Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development), with the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre providing technical advice. The methodology is also being piloted by the World Food Programme in Bangladesh, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Nepal, and together with its own Norwegian-supported ‘FoodSECuRE’ programme in the Philippines, in addition to (under FoodSECuRE) Guatemala, Niger, Sudan and Zimbabwe. Recent WFP research has shown that early humanitarian response could “trigger positive feedback loops that reduce humanitarian costs as well as disaster impacts,” the Geneva platform heard.

the forecast for Albuquerque looks a lot better than for LA... that was not quite the plan.
still I guess it could have been worse.

Another idea in a project based on the shipping forecast - based on the fact that I lay in bed listening to it, that I wasn't exactly out at sea.
Very Thomas Allen. A big reason why I am not going to use this as a final.
It was Thursday. I laid in until nearly eight, snoozing and dozing.
I leap up, have a shower and get dressed. Despite the dreadful weather forecast, I would go out.
And after Col and Aidan mentioned their trips on buses, I thought I would take the X18 to Warwick.
One left at 09:52, giving me just enough time to walk to Wood Street, find a place to eat and be ready.
It was indeed raining, but it was just five minutes to Wood Street, and opposite the bus stop was an independent bakery. I go in, order a tea and a cheese and salsa or something toastie.
Both were good, but I realised I had ten minutes before the bus, even though there was another in half an hour.
I go out, cross the road and soon a bus with Warwick on the destination board pulled in. I didn't notice the route number, but instead of the express service, I was on the slow, calling at all villages services.
But it was fine, I was in no hurry.
So the bus roared and bounced its way down narrow roads in housing estates, short bursts of full speed, before pulling off into a village.
The rain still came down, running down the windows, but they were all condensated, so you couldn't see out of them anyway.
All trips on buses in the county cost just £3, so was a bargain.
After an hour we arrived in Warwick, pulling in at the small bus station. We all thanked the driver as we got off, as its what Brits do.
A map and signpost showed the way to the town centre, so I walked up the street until it opened up into a square with the town hall in the centre.
If only I knew where the church was. I looked round and saw the four pinnacles of the tower over the roofs of the shops.
I walked towards it.
St Mary was open. Col had checked that it would be. It was due to open at 11, it was ten to, but the door swung open, and the warmth inside hit me like a woolly blanket.
I received a warm welcome too. A guide showed me to the Beauchamp Chapel, down some steps where Elizabeth I's beau is buried with his higher born wife, so in eternity, she lays slightly above him to remind Dudley he didn't marry Good Queen Bess.
The church is huge, and full of delights. I was inside for nearly 90 minutes, and still missed things to photograph and admire. There was some ancient glass, and some good Victorian glass too.
At quarter past twelve I was done, or churched out. I walked outside, and into the Rose and Crown opposite, where I ordered a pint of Timothy Taylor Boltmaker, which was so good I had a second, and an Indonesian curry with sambal.
Delicious.
One last thing to see and snap, was the Westgate with Lord Leycester Hospital beside it. The latter sadly closed until March, so I made do with shots of the gate, with chapel above and the timber framed buildings of the hospital, timbers and walls all at different angles.
Rain began to fall. And it looked set in, so I checked with the bus timetable, and it seemed a bus was due in ten minutes, so I walked back to the bus station, to shelter A.
And waited.
And waited some more.
It was twenty five minutes late, so not sure if it was the next one early, or the previous nearly half an hour late.
Whatever, it was the express service, and it made good time. I sat on the upper deck, because its the law on a double decker, so the trees being shaken in the strong wind, scratched down the roof.
It was still raining in Stratford, so I went into Tesco for supplies of pop, crisps and biscuits before walking back to the hotel for a feast of dirty food.
I read more of Cameron Crowe's book as rain hammered down outside. It grew dark and so I climbed into bed to read, so to keep warm.

The Collegiate Church of St Mary is a Church of England parish church in Warwick, Warwickshire, England. It is in the centre of the town just east of the market place. It is Grade I listed, and a member of the Major Churches Network.
The church has the status of collegiate church as it had a college of secular canons. In governance and religious observance it was similar to a cathedral (although not the seat of a bishop and without diocesan responsibilities). There is a Bishop of Warwick, but this is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Coventry.
The church foundations date back nine hundred years, being created by Roger de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Warwick, in 1123.[1] In addition to founding the church, de Beaumont established the college of dean and canons at the church. The only surviving part of the Norman church which de Beaumont had built is the crypt.
The chancel vestries and chapter house of the church were extensively rebuilt in the 14th century by a later Earl of Warwick, Thomas de Beauchamp (died 1369, later pronounced Beecham), in the Perpendicular Gothic style.[2] Between c. 1370 and 1394, the chancel, transept, nave and aisles were rebuilt, then forming a basilica with wooden roofs.[3] Thomas Beauchamp's descendants built the Chapel of Our Lady, commonly known as the Beauchamp Chapel. It contains the effigial monuments of Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick, Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick, and Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester. Buried in the chancel of the church is William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton, the brother of queen consort Catherine Parr.
The college was dissolved in 1546, and the church was granted by the Crown to the burgesses of Warwick.[2] Before their destruction in the Civil War, Wenceslaus Hollar copied many of the stained glass windows in the Beauchamp Chapel, showing heraldry of the Beauchamp family.
The church, along with much of Warwick, was devastated by the Great Fire of Warwick in 1693. The nave and tower of the building were completely destroyed. In 1704, the rebuilt church was completed in a Gothic design by William Wilson (appointed by the Crown Commissioners).[5] Sir Christopher Wren is also said to have contributed to the design, but that is disputed.[1][2] The tower rises to the height of 130 feet (40 m).[4] The design was described by John Summerson as being "as remarkable for its success as for its independence in style from other seventeenth-century English Gothic".[6]
The church has been undergoing significant maintenance for renovation since early 2023 and is expected to be complete by the end of 2023. At a cost of £1.4 million, the renovation was planned after a piece of masonry fell from the church's tower.

But not a better day tomorrow...more of the same sub par conditions. :0)
Temps continue to trend below historic average values with the odd spike such as today's being the exception...throw history out the window where predictability is concerned from here forward.
High winds have stolen much of any warming values the sun is offering but at least we have that much!
I haven't done one of these for months. It's 87'F here at the moment. We're under a severe thunderstorm watch, this should be fun!
Eugene started the week with nearly a foot of snow - a rarity there. It would be really really really nice if it were mostly gone when we ride there Monday. Three days of mid-40 degree weather will probably take care of that.

The forecast was not that good for today from the off but leaving work on the drive home I was convinced that, as usual these days the BBC forecast was wrong. The cloudy start was not going to be and so I went out for this. Its usual early departure from Barnt Green was to happen so I got into place here to find that, probably because I was ready for it this time, it was held to time at Stoke Works Jn. The sun as a result was a little more 'head on' than desired but it is still an acceptable shot in my opinion.
A rekky was required ahead of doing this shot because the last time I did this it was from the embankment near to the bridge. This time I needed my ladders and took it from the field to cut out the shadows.
