WEATHER RIGHT
FINEST SPRING FOR 50 YEARS SHOULD BE FAIR THROUGH JUNE (Rec. 1.30 p.m. LONDON, May 8. The finest spring for 50 years has dried and hardened Western Europe for the Allied invasion armies, says the foreign editor of the * Daily Express.' Correspondents are sending in reports from Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and Portugal—- " outposts in and around the Axis fortress, where weather censorship is rigid." Basing a forecast on these reports, the foreign editor predicts for the next three weeks continued fair weather along the invasion coast from the Low Countries to Spain. There is a one in four chance of the drought continuing through June. July may be hot, but on the whole the expected summer will be wet and cool, with skies generally overcast, and the Channel fair to moderate.
