Weather Saint St Swithin and Winchester lore
The piece recounts St Swithin as weather folk lore figure, noting his historic role in Winchester under bishops and kings, the St Swithin day weather belief, and origins tied to his burial wish and rain that delayed his tomb. It also touches on obituaries in newspapers, the care editors take, and a brief Palestine rainfall note.
