St Swithins day today (July15th), according to folklore/popular belief, if it rains on St Swithins day, it will rain for 40 days, but if its fair,40 days of fair weather will follow.

Well, we have had a lovely day here in the Westcountry.......😉

Some truth in that lack of rain fronts moving in is caused by an area of high pressure keeping them out. And, apparently, at this time of year if an area of high pressure arrives it tends to stick around for...well...forty days and forty nights.
