Overcast with light rain this morning, overcast and dry this afternoon. Expecting the same tomorrow. Friday looks more promising, so I might go for a drive then, if I’m able to. Haven’t gone west of Winchester for a while, so . . .
The ants are going mad on the patio this afternoon. I wonder if they’re planning to swarm on Friday.
“The flying ant swarms most Britons notice once a year are triggered by weather. “Flying Ant Day” usually happens in July or August when it is warm, not windy and the weather has markedly improved from the preceding day, research suggests. Anecdotal evidence suggests flying ant swarms often occur after summer rain.”
Perhaps they don’t know it’s still going to be quite breezy on Friday, even if it is dry. We shall have to wait and see what, if anything, happens.
