Sunny intervals

That’s BBC weather.

American weatherpersons often speak of “intervals of sun.” “Sunny intervals” sounds brighter and more cheerful. I’d like sunny intervals, soon.

  1. When I read your headline ('Sunny Intervals') I thought you were going to write about major thirds.
    And yes, we could use some sunny intervals up here in Wisconsin too!

  2. We need major thirds too. I once named this kind of day a Cmaj7#4.

  3. Ah, but is the BBC Weather itself a sunny interval?

  4. Then the BBC isn't doing it's job properly. I would petition for the re-introduction of Michael Fish.

  6. Heh. Sorry - I assumed anyone blogging about BBC weather would know their most infamous weatherman.

  7. I’m a relative newcomer. But I thought someone else might be wondering about Mr. Fish too.
