oh my oh my, have you seen the weather?

Well, this is nice.
A bit of sun.
lots of inappropriate bearing of flesh and lots of pink shoulders (hairy to boot!).
The good weather is set to continue tomorrow, too. Day after it’s going to be back to rainy cloudy grey-ey, so at least we’ll know where we stand.
We were talking about the weather here at work earlier (as you do – perish the thought we ever actually talk about anything interesting / pertinent / world-changing) about how lovely it is and how it will be equally pleasant tomorrow.
And I asked, why is it that they only show today’s weather on TV, along with a preview of what’s to come but never yesterday’s?
I think it would be much more useful to get the weather today in context with the weather yesterday.
For example, today it is 26 degrees c and I am wearing a lovely linen shirt / baggy jeans combo, and, like Goldilocks’s porridge, I am not too hot, not too cold.
How useful, if lovely Andrea on GMTV tomorrow morning were to tell me that the temperature will be exactly the same as today, so I know what layers / fabrics to wear.
Instead she will no doubt tell me sunny today with highs of X (by which time I will be incapable of remembering today's magic number), cloudy tomorrow. Giving me two sartorial dilemmas to worry about and not a mention of the past.
The people at work thought this was a riduculous idea, so i just shut my eyes and pretended they weren't there (thank heavens for black-out eyeshadow!)
