The climate is made up of “weather” whether it is nice out depends on whether it is raining or not. A wether is just a castrated sheep.

Bream
The Village of Bream is located between the market town of Coleford and Lydney in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean in the County of Gloucestershire, between the River Severn to the East and the River Wye to the West, 20 miles from the city of Gloucester to the north east, 25 miles from the City of Bristol to the SSE, 7 miles from the town of Monmouth to the NW, 12 miles from Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire to the N and 12 miles from Chepstow in Monmouthshire to the SSW. Co-ordinates Lat 51.44 N Long 002.34 W - Locator IO81QS
Bream is one of the largest villages in the Forest of Dean District with a population of 2600 in January 2000. It is just one of a number of settlements which make up the Forest Ring of settlements on the fringes of the statutory Forest. Positioned on the southern edge of the forest core between the towns of Lydney and Coleford, the village is set on a ridge of high ground, falling away on three sides. Development on these slopes is prominent within the surrounding open countryside

The Jet Stream
Most people cannot have failed to notice that the weather has been generally overcast and dull lately. But before everyone writes off summer and mumbles something about global warming, let me explain why.
Temperatures in Bournemouth on Thursday did not get above 20C High in the sky above the United Kingdom, in a layer of the Earth's atmosphere called the troposphere, wind speeds can reach 200mph.
This ribbon of high altitude high speed wind is known as the polar jet stream, and is responsible for steering weather in our direction. To bring us the summer we are longing for, the jet stream needs to pass to the north of the UK.
This allows the Azores High, an area of high pressure situated in the mid-Atlantic, to bring us warm and settled weather. Think back far enough and you may recall that most of the UK had beautifully settled weather for much of May and the first half of June. Michael Fish.

Jet streams are narrow fast flowing "rivers" of air. Wind speeds can reach 300 miles per hour. Jet streams play a fundamental role in our weather.They are formed by temperature differences in the upper atmosphere, between the cold polar air and the warm tropical air. This abrupt change in temperature causes a large pressure difference, which forces the air to move. In our latitude the jet stream is generally found at around 35,000 feet and is called the Polar Front Jet Stream. The polar jet stream, as its name implies, separates the cold polar air to the north and the warm sub-tropical air to the south.
Giving Rise to The Jet Stream (NOVA ONLINE)
The jet stream is a current of fast moving air found in the upper levels of the atmosphere. This rapid current is typically thousands of kilometers long, a few hundred kilometers wide, and only a few kilometers thick. Jet streams are usually found somewhere between 10-15 km (6-9 miles) above the earth's surface. The position of this upper-level jet stream denotes the location of the strongest SURFACE temperature contrast. During the winter months, Arctic and tropical air masses create a stronger surface temperature contrast resulting in a strong jet stream. However, during the summer months, when the surface temperature variation is less dramatic, the winds of the jet are weaker.
