Weather Comments

Being a typical Englishman I like to talk about the weather. The weather here in Guilin is warmer than last year, hence I forecast more rain and more thunderstorms, like in 2006. Last year we experienced snow. It was beautiful to see snow on the karst pinnacles. However, it was unpleasantly cold and some people in the countryside even died due to the cold weather. This year I have hardly needed gloves. I hear that back in England there was more snow this year than last. It seems like the cold weather moved from China to the UK this year, while Australia suffered scorching heat and devastating bush fires.
