Warm-up - no warm-down today (at least no running one).
I'm at the stage where I'm trawling a lot of national meteorological service websites in search of additional fragments of information to use in my reports. I was somewhat surprised to see that occupying pride of place on Paraguay's website was a rainfall forecast map for 12 November 2014, a
somewhat familiar date (not sure why they were showing that one off because most of the forecast rain failed to materialise, at least in the places where I was). Africa has a few good ones - often from multi-country groups like the Niger Basin Authority - but also a reasonable number of countries where the national meteorological service either doesn't have a website or has a website that doesn't work (Zambia's, which last time I tried had the forecast for some date in 2006, is one of those). Nigeria's website took me to
a promise to pay me US$6 million if I put my bank account details on an online form a "current" report which was four years out of date, and Burkina Faso's was blocked by the WMO firewall because they think it's a gambling site.
