This will be my post for a few weeks due to my holiday.

Thursday 4th July 2013 - Forecast

Wednesday was cloudy and miserable, with the occasional patch of sun. Thursday will be much the same, but towards the end of the day we will hopefully see some more sun.

Into the weekend we should see some nicer weather we should hopefully continue into early Monday.    

Once again, I will take the opportunity to tell you that Thursday night will be my last forecasts for a few weeks, due to my holiday.

Wednesday 3rd July 2013 - Forecast

Wednesday will be much the same as Tuesday, with more rain and more wind. Thursday will see similar weather again, but it should brighten up towards the end of the day.

Friday will be better, with temperatures rising and clouds reducing. This weather should continue thought the weekend and hopefully into Monday, but I cannot be sure.

Are We Really Just Big Bullies?

In 2009 Sloan Digital Sky Survey found the galaxy now known as Segue 2, cowering at the edge of the Milky Way. The whole shebang, caboodle, thingy is only about 150,000 times as massive as our sun and only holds around a few thousand stars.

Evan Kirby, University of California, Irvine wants to check that the galaxy is 'real', rather than a globular cluster which would have formed as a tightly bound bundle of stars with the Milky Way.

The general agreement on Segue 2 is that it was formed as a real galaxy, then 'bullied' by us. This is because it has the chemical complexion of a galaxy but is no longer big enough to hold onto the elements that are heavier than iron that are kicked out by supernovae. Such debris would be discarded by globular clusters, but Segue 2 seems to have seen many supernovae and held onto the debris.

Tuesday 2nd July 2013 - Forecast

I'm sorry there wasno forecast for Monday, this was due to the fact that I was in London for most of the weekend.

Tuesday should remain dry and warm, with a touch more wind and a considerable amount more cloud, especially as the day draws to a close. Temperatures should be in their mid to high teens and we may see some more muggy weather.

The rest of the week will, unfortunately see deteriorating and muggy weather. However we should hopefully see some nicer weather n Friday and into the weekend, with the clouds lifting a good deal and the temperatures ranging from high teens to mid twenties.

 As an early warning, I will be leaving for holiday on Friday the 7th July, so there will be no forecast for 3 weeks or so.
