I've got no hair, and been looking to find a replacement for my trusty yet vey dated bucket hat. Although I find my head completely bakes with a hat on, generating a headache from hell. What's your best option to keep the sun from baking the skull? I'm going with a straw trilby this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy101 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I've gone for a new style this year. I look like I'm trying to be down with the kids and failing with a baseball cap and I seem to destroy anything the slightest bit fragile (see straw trilby) so I've gone for what I consider to be the 'Cuban Dictator'. Not sure if it's the official style name mind Lets give @stuartbert two hats another one just in case he doesn't realise this is urgent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I also have a knackered old baseball cap that I use for running that I wear on trips to/from the car so that my trilby doesn't get all sweaty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fur_q Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just re-run my GFS ensemble analysis again using today's 06z as per before:- X axis is total accumulated daily rainfall Y axis is the day by date Each GFS ensemble member is represented by the points (dots - different colours represent the 4 different runs in the last 24 hours), the lines are the linear trends. The so the points represent the range of likely outcomes and the more tightly they are clustered (closer together) across the x axis the more confidence we have in the forecast Another way of visualising the same data :- Here X axis = the day by date, Y axis = count of ensemble forecast members (84 (21 per run x 4 runs)) broken down by the level of rain they are forecasting So light green is good (minimal rainfall) and dark brown is bad (lots of rainfall) more green you can see = better chance of minimal rainfall 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
