Could we move the days in the week a few days over so that weekend weather isn't always lousy?
We have daylight savings to help the world economies save a few cents and try and help us waste less of natures limited resources, but could the world be made better place if we moved the weekend from where it is and foxed the weather patterns that so often give us shiny beautiful week days promising exciting weekends only to slam the sky closed with clouds?
I propose a worldwide petition to scoot the weekend over.
This would lead to another question though. Should we move the weekend forward a few days in the week, or backward? Any economists willing to work that one out? How much the world economy would gain with an extra weekend, lose without one and the benefits of having a double header weekend.

we've done that, and that's why we have the weather we have now.

Not the economists who need to convincing but the scientists.
It has been shown that inclement weather at weekends tends to be of human cause in the first place.
Due to the increase in energy use during weekdays (particularly prevalent in manufacturing, yet increasingly relevant in a/c hungry office blocks) the increase in temperature caused by these phenomenon creates heat islands which raise the due point (point where vapour turns back to water and forms clouds)
Take away the offices and factories at weekends and the temp drops, as does dew point, and the rest as they say, is history (or precipitation)
No petition will help this one
