Weather forecasting

The weather forecast for today (we look at several forecasts, but they all agreed yesterday) predicted heavy rains for most of the day.....
We have hardly seen a cloud in the sky and it has been the first day in about two weeks without any rain at all! Fantastic.
It seems that forecasting the weather here in NW Europe is a lot more difficult than in Cape Town. There the forecast is pretty accurate, even a few days out. Here we often find anomalies, although todays's prediction is quite a bit more off the mark than usual.
We hope though that tomorrow's prediction is accurate as it suggests sunny skies and little wind: perfect to cross the IJsselmeer to Enkhuizen.
We are on Nye Kruzpolle, an island in a lake called 'Fluessen'. It's quiet now (after a boat with loud music left). The people tied up behind us have a 'Stabij', the same breed of dog we met in the Princenhof a few days ago. They were quite impressed that I knew the (relatively uncommon) breed. This one is as friendly as the other one was!
