The most comprehensive weather study ever has confirmed what we all suspected - the weather really is worse at weekends.
Meteorologists at the University of Karlsruhe evaluated 6.3 million pieces of climate data from across Europe between 1991 and 2005.
Their conclusion: On weekends the weather is worse than on weekdays.
They found Wednesdays have the highest average temperatures, Saturdays the lowest. Monday was the driest day, Saturday was the wettest.
The most blue sky was on Tuesdays, with on average 15 minutes more bright sunshine than on the weekend, and on Saturday the clouds were the thickest.
According to the team, people themselves are to blame for their misfortune.
They said: "Exhaust gases cause fine dust. This obstructs sun and boosts cloud formation. As these come into effect only after a certain delay, the weekends suffer and have bad weather."
