Our idiosyncratic weather forecaster keeps you up to date on London's skies.
The weather is broken. You've probably noticed. It's been stuck on the same setting for days, a grim cycle of showers, grey skies and chilly winds. I've called a servicing centre in Edgware and they're going to take a look, but they suspect it will need a spare part. Apparently, that hail we got a few days ago has clogged up a filter somewhere, and everything's borked. Bloody typical the warranty only ran out last week.
Mr Attlee can be reached by emailing hello@londonist.com; lord knows why you'd want to.
Our resident tube fancier dishes out daily thoughts on the London Underground.
Time for my never-popular 'name the station from the Google screengrab' game. Which underground station have I got my back towards in the above image? Send answers on Twitter to @HeckTube for your chance to win the foil disk from inside today's bottle of milk (which is slightly torn and sodden but might find service in a child's craft project).
Book ahead for Fourpure Global Gathering Festival on 21 March. Held at Fourpure Brewery in Bermondsey, with kegs donated by various breweries, the event raises money for Global Gathering's work supplying clean drinking water in Malawi. Find out more and sign up.
