I mentioned to DH a few days ago that my travel barometer, which also acts as my alarm clock, had been showing signs of age recently. I've had it since 1998 so for a piece of gadgetry that's not bad. So on Friday a big box arrived from Amazon. It contained a weather station. Outdoors there is a rain gauge, an anemometer, a min/max thermometer, and a wind vane. All connected by radio signal to the indoor bit.
ANYWAY.... the point is... I've been drying four loads of washing indoors over the weekend and today. Today is dreich and cold — 99% relative humidity (surprised it's not 100% actually) outside, but inside it is only half that.
So there's that hypothesis that drying washing indoors makes the atmosphere too damp SHOT TO HELL, which is where it belongs. Don't know why the Beeb publishes such drivel.
for your weather station.
. He's good at stuff like that. If I expected anything, it was a replacement, sometime (birthday, christmas), for the small gadget that I already have but which keeps cutting out. He got me that when the ME payback started being a nuisance – I was pretty sure that changes in atmospheric pressure affected me quite noticably. The wee barometer seemed to support my view and even seemed to show that my built in barometer was more sensitive than it!
