Pub science, but actually bar science. Explaining to the ‘rents how the weather works based on two weeks of geography fifteen years ago and a lifetime of half watching the BBC weather forecast (which as Danny recently noted is getting increasingly surreal). Words like isobar, cyclone and anti-cyclone get thrown into the mix, and small condensation diagrams are drawn on the table to little avail. Only when I explain that the constant volatility is akin to the workings of the financial markets do they grasp the inherently chaotic nature of the barometric system.
