And people complain about UK weather!
Scientific, Skeptical and Secular (and even anti-theistic)! These are the adventures of an ex-scientist, working as an engineer in energy research, and living in a world that is not secular enough.

Sahara Desert arrives!
Once in a while we in UK get visited by the Sahara Desert - or at least by some of it. This week, the rain has been particularly dirty. Its a good job I hadn't just washed the car!
The MetOffice tells us that this happens quite often, but even they admit that this is a particularly good example of the phenomenon. See the video at their site.
Considering how much of the Sahara has arrived here, it is interesting to speculate what the conditions were like there, in order to throw this much dust up into the atmosphere.
And people complain about UK weather!

That's impressive.
