A bit early yet, but I had notification of a Full Smith Period on 20/5 and a near miss for yesterday. So thought I would post a link for anyone interested in signing up for free alerts

That has surprised me,never thought we had the right conditions for a smiths :o
The Smith Criteria were met yesterday in Newbury, but not today.
we have had one day but not a full smith period. last year, we had 2 smith periods in June but what a bummer of a summer it turned out to be.
