When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

The forecasters have less than 60% confidence in forecasts that far away - it could all change by then.
So I'll worry about it nearer the time  ;)

Our weather is determined by sun spot's. It takes 4 day's for this effect to take place. Therfore any forecast's longer than a 4 day period are guesswork.

Can you quote the source on this?

What happens in the ionosphere can certainly be affected by sunspots and coronal mass ejections - not always associated with sunspots - these effects show themselves in radio propagation conditions and visual effects such as the aurora borealis.

Any effects such as a CME usually take about 2 days to reach the ionosphere. I am not aware of them having a significant effect on weather patterns, so I'd be interested to know more about it.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
