Default Will it stay sunny?

I check the rain radar for, well rain (duh!) but I also look at the visible light satellite images to see if it's likely to stay sunny.

I ran across this one...

...once you ignore the adblocker warning and set it in motion and it's completed it's first pass it gives a nice smooth view of the cloud cover and it's movement direction.

No, we're heading for a Bank Holiday. Plus it's a weekend we have managed to keep clear of obligations so I can ride the bike, so it will assuredly hurl it down with rain...

Fugging weather... Hurling it down with rain with thunder and lightning thrown in. Managed to wash Lady Poppy's car between showers so at least its clean but I'm stuck indoors again now.
