Liz the Squeak	Folklore: Happy St Swithun's Day (15 July) (29)	RE: Folklore: Happy St Swithun's Day	15 Jul 10
It does actually have a basis in meteorological fact... The beginning/middle of July usually heralds a set pattern in the weather fronts sweeping across the UK. If the pattern is fair, then it remains settled and fair for about 6 weeks. If the weather is unsettled (showers), then that is what we get for those 6 weeks. The "tradition" that it always rains on Bank Holiday Monday in August has the same meteorological basis.... the set pattern of weather fronts break around the end of August. Unfortunately, I can't cite my sources as I heard this about 25 years ago before 'tinternet were invented proper like. LTS
