5th September
Matt didn't need his brolly this morning, but some of us did! And it was muscle building keeping it under control to! So the news today......its gonna rain!!! 
a lot!!!
On the 7.45 forecast this morning Matt said he felt like the 'prophet of doom' all he's been talking about all week is rain. I remember saying on the blog last year that whenever Matt appeared he always brought the sunshine ( well, maybe not always, but often!!), but his time as a sungod must have passed!
If you want fine weather this weekend.......western parts of Scotland!!! It's a long way to go for most people I reckon.
Although a colleague at work has a better idea.....a week in Greece!! And another is going to Spain on Wednesday. No fair!!!
So, if you're not in western Scotland and off out this weekend, don't forget the wellies, umbrella and obviously the wet weather gear!! Or maybe just don't bother going out!! I don't think I shall!

4th September
Well, wet, wet, wet!! And so it goes on! Still no brolly for Matt today, but lots of blue and some green on the map.
Before the first forecast this morning Bill was looking at the newspaper and reading about the weather, Bill (sighs) 'Another battering, violent gales, heavy rain set to sweep the country'. Louise: ' Matt, can give us the weather'. Matt: 'Yes, listen to me, not the headlines, a monsoon deludge, perhaps a little bit of artist licence used there but yes there is some very wet weather to come.'
Lmao, before the 6.45 forecast Bill says: 'Now he says its too early to call him Monsoon Matt, but I'm not so sure.' Matt: 'If you've ever been to India and seen a real monsoonal downpour you'll know it's not quite there, but we will see some very very wet weather indeed.
I was well lucky this morning, got to work before it rained, and by about 10 it really started to brighten up, not too bad a day overall. Windy and not very warm though.
Tomorrow morning its not looking like I'll be so lucky!!! Wet weather gear, brolly, and go!!
Aww, Matt was all apologetic about his forecast at 8.15, can't be good having to repeat the same bad news every half an hour for 3 hours!!
Today there was also lots of talk about the bee population down by 30% in this country and the bad weather was being blamed for that too! Not completely, but partly.
Louise was getting a bit confused about her sunrise and sunset this morning so Matt kindly explained for her!!! The early mornings must be getting to her.
Ohh Bill was well on form today. After Matts last forecast he said to Louise: 'Did you see that big
duvet of blue? All over the country. Louise: 'Duvet makes it sound nice'. Bill: 'Wet, big, wet, damp duvet'.
Don't take any notice of the papers, listen to me!!!
I'm guessing that Matt already has his wet weather gear and Breakfast brolly all lined up for tomorrow morning!

3rd September
No brolly for Matt today, but a jumper was needed in the BP garden this morning.
Bill: 'Interesting headline for weather people in The Telegraph, inside: The weather fooled us admits Met Office cheif'. Sian: 'What? They got it wrong? They never get it wrong.....Matt? You never get it wrong'
Matt: 'We never get it wrong, no. Just timing sometimes is a little bit out, but we try are best to get it right most of the time at least. And we'll try again today shall we'.
At the end of the 6.45 forecast Bill said:'Well if that didn't make you miserable enough here's Aaron with more miserable news about the jobs market'.
Flight of a lifetime up for grabs, the Red Arrows are offering up a seat for charity. Bill: Would you?' Sian: 'Well, remember Carol, I can see Matt ready for the weather but, Matt, I don't know if you saw it when Carol went up with the red arrows, and she screamed the whole way' Matt: 'Thats our Carol, yes. I was very jealous of her, I actually used to work along side the red arrows. I was at RAF Cranwell many years ago when I started in my weather career, still never had a flight with them though. So well worth bidding for that I guess.'
Probably if you have a spare several thousand pounds anyway! And if you do have a spare several thousand pounds sent it here! I'll 'invest' it for you!!!
At the end of the 7.15 forecast, Matt: 'And as for Friday Bill and Sian, grab your wellies, for the best of the driest weather, head for Scotland, back to you both' Sian: 'Yes, good point, we shall, thanks very much'.
Not a great deal more to report, Matt did get a bit tongue-tied trying to say 'brolly', bless. He said at the end of the forecast he'd put his teeth in for tomorrow. Or otherwise talk about 'umbrella's' instead as recommended by Bill!
Quick check for rain!

2nd September
Poor Matt out in the rain this morning with his Breakfast brolly. As Sian said after one forecast, he's not on Breakfast that often and when he is he's stuck outside in the rain. It didn't seem to bother him too much though, he still seemed pretty happy as usual, not much fazes him! And it had pretty much stopped when I went to work this morning so I didn't need a brolly, just the wet weather jacket. And magic Matt made the rain go away at lunchtime and the sun came out and we had quite a bit of sun for the rest of the day!!! Nice one! Which cheered me up a bit cos Tuesdays are a bit depressing, its still such a long way til Friday!
I don't think think there was a lot of banter today, I have only had a quick review because I was out socializing tonight!! 
On a Tuesday!! Shocking I know, but there we go! So I shall have a more indepth review tomorrow eve and update anything I've missed.
Bill said: 'We're not discongooglated (that might be spelt right, or not!!!) by the weather we're just fed up' . Bill: 'And you're not the only one either, yes, what a lovely start to the morning it is here in the garden'. Sarcasm Mr Taylor!!!
Bill: 'Well, these days you need flippers to get to school, don't you, eh?' Matt: 'Good Morning both of you, yes. Good morning its a pretty wet start across some parts of the country'.
Bill: 'Do you know what's driving me mad Sian, do you know? do you know? (big sigh) Sian: 'I think it'll be the rain...and the brolly's still up' Matt: 'Yes, its driving you mad, you're inside Bill and Sian. It's throwing it down here at the moment'.
Before the 8.15 forecast Bill said: I want to hear words like 'sun' and 'warmth' from (turns round to see Matt with brolly) ohh Matt'. Matt: 'There is plenty of sunshine around at the moment Bill, particularly through the Mediterranean ( mediterranean????? Thats not very close!!!) and there is a bit of sunshine here as well for some of us. But down here in the south east and parts of east Anglia its a thoroughly wet start to the day.'
Fingers crossed for Matt not needing his brolly in the morning!
