Wet weather set to continue

THE miserable summer weather conditions that left a dark cloud over the country for most of July looks set to continue for much of August, according to weather experts.

Pierce Corbyn of British forecasting company Weather Action claims conditions could deteriorate even further over the coming weeks with the risk of thundery deluges and local flooding.

Mr Corbyn bases his predictions on solar weather techniques and, to his credit, he is renowned for his accuracy. According to his website, www.weatheraction.com, his technique uses “predictable aspects of solar activity — particle and magnetic effects from the sun as the basis for forecasting weather many months and even years in advance.
