Oso Arts (Barnes), £14, book ahead, 8pm London weather with Inclement Attlee Our idiosyncratic weather forecaster returns, keeping you up to date on London's skies. Do you find my weather reports a trifle silly, stupid or even banal? Then consider getting your meteorological guidance from MyLondon. A recent headline promised "The Exact Dates When London Could See its Hottest Days of the Year". The word 'could' is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, while the 'exact' is anything but. After a shower of typos, the article concedes that its source "hasn't predicted a specific date", and we can most likely expect hot weather in early August. I think it's called clickbait. Contact Mr Attlee with any weather-related thoughts or pictures by emailing [email protected]; subject line "For Mr Attlee". Tube ponderings with Barry Heck Our resident tube fancier dishes out daily thoughts on the London Underground. Wednesday, and we arrive once again at the addictive game of 'name the tube station from the crappy screengrab'. This week's poser is a well-known station, but from a tricky angle. Where am I? The first to get it right wins a leaflet about a prospective local councillor ("Dan's the Man!") that I just found on my floor. Tweet entries to @HeckTube.
