Riding east right now, "Blinded by the light"... a very bonnie day,
though as you say a shade chillsome.

Definitely not anything by Gene Kelly.. though there was a brief flurry
of snow just as I left home this morning.

dumm..'

Always a cracking tune. Cycling around the other night, I was whistling
to inform nearby peds that looking before stepping into the road would
be sensible. My tune of choice? With no real thought, I found myself
whistling the theme to the Archers.

It's also played before every Birmingham City FC home game. Usually, in
my experience, while it's raining.

Eurythmics "Here comes the rain again" followed by
Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Who'll stop the rain?" followed by
"It's raining men" ;-)

Four Seasons in One Day

Right now in London it is bright and the sun is shining, but snow is falling
too

A brisk, biting wind, mostly blue sky and a flurry about ten minutes
ago.

That was forty minutes ago. Now it's clouding over...

You get updates every 15 minutes here for example
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=ILONDON7

To find one near you try:
http://www.wunderground.com/stationmaps/gmap.asp?zip=00000&magic=1&wmo=03779

Now if someone would just link those reports to a database of suitable music
and broadcast it on the net we'd be sorted

P.S. Dave I see you have returned from your time-travel one day into the
future :-)

Wu. A website that is willing to deliver its content about half
in (more than half-correct) Welsh, but which doesn't know where
the Oxford in Britain is. It does know about more places called
Oxford in the USA than I used to know about, though. (Twenty-one,
I think; I used to know about six of them, maybe but.)

Lots by Bob Dylan.

"Clouds so swift
Rain won’t lift
Gate won’t close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain’t goin’ nowhere."

and

“Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder.”

and

"Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far-off corner flared
An’ the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows
Fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting."

Read more in <http://climate.envsci.rutgers.edu/pdf/DylanBAMS.pdf>
It's by a meteorologist and Dylan fan.

Every so often, this Babbage-Engine takes it into its tiny electronik
brane to skip a day. I have no idea why, except possibly Windows.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Yes, Bobby knows a bit about cycling weather:

'Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginnin' to hide
The fortune-tellin' lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody's makin' love
Or else expectin' rain...'

But the Eurythmics know more:

'Here comes the rain, again...'

And the Move:

'I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain...'

And then there's Bryant and Bryant, as performed by Leo Sayer and others:

'The weatherman says fine today
He doesn't know that you've gone away
And it's raining...'

Or Mr Fogerty, as screamed by that lass who used to sing with Meat Loaf:

'I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?'

And Mr Bacharach, as performed by the Manic Street Preachers, who are
obviously cyclists in between times:

'Raindrops keep falling on my head'

Finally John Martyn, who sums up the whole cycling experience in one
stanza:

'There's nothing in my favour
But the rain's in my face
I'm going home
Hey, hey hey, over the hill...'

Simon, I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
....
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirming like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
....
