So far in Britain, since that period of heavy rains around the conjunction, the weather has mainly been sunny and pleasant. Of course this does not include the recent ?May day? bank holiday, because we have a policy in Britain of not allowing Sunshine on public holidays or during Wimbledon; but otherwise Masha?allah?s aphorism seems to be holding out so far.

I've also been thinking that April's good weather had something to do with the longduring Venus-Mars conjunction of these months

In contrast to this today I read in a newspaper a short news note that since many weeks there have been heavy rains in Colombia/Venezuela.
This is what makes 'weather astrology' difficult and unacceptable to some . I do believe in some effect though but that it can work out in different ways and closely according to the natural/possible circumstances per region. Things like excessive more than usual rainfall during rainseason in tropical areas and for example more sandstorms in desert areas related to the same planetary configurations.
