Have we got a purebred storm coming up? Weather-breeder conditions persist. It remains unseasonably warm; at the moment, it’s almost 80 degrees! I know that some parts of the USA have gotten some severe weather, including tornadoes.

Our forecast for later this week is rather dismaying. Tomorrow the wind could reach 20 mph; and I want to do a ride of 19 miles or so. Wind from the East (only too common) means a headwind on the way home. If I’m to ride more than 12 miles, I’d better take along a little extra food.

Beginning tomorrow night, and lasting through early next week, showers and T-storms are likely. Chances of rain vary from 30% to 90%.

So putting in some extra miles while I can seems like a good idea in itself. It’s that tussle with tomorrow’s headwinds that’s got me concerned. And, of course, the possibility of getting caught in a purebred T-storm while I’m out on the bike!
