Funny weather we have had lately – an early summer, followed by rain, sun, rain, etc. So, how to tell the weather instantly? Kids can try this it is so simple. Grab a rock from the River Rother, about a fist sized rock will do. Tie some string (an old guy rope perhaps) around it and hang it close by your pitch.
Stone is wet – it’s raining
Stone is dry – it’s not raining
Shadow on ground – it’s sunny
White on top – it’s frosty
Cannot see stone – it’s foggy
Swinging stone – it’s windy
Stone gone – a cyclone
Nothing left at all – another camper stole it
