So, there is a God in heaven, and sometimes in the Guardian office too. As John Fisher writes (Letters, 25 September), it is a miracle to see the sun, moon and tide charts back, much missed after a nine-month absence.
For example, where I live in Edinburgh, I could go down to the local pier on the 25th, see the full moon rise at 19.30, and know the high tide was at 16.00. Informative journalism, impacting everyday life.
Perhaps that omniscient and wise God could cast their eye on the oversized Around the UK segment and reintroduce the previous day’s temperatures and rainfall around the country, again much missed from the Berliner.

• I still find the weather page disappointing. What I particularly miss is the Around Britain statistics. Living in the heart of Kent, the nearest places quoted were Herstmonceux and Crawley, a mere 40-odd miles apart, yet the differences in their weather was quite marked, probably because Herstmonceux is much nearer the sea whereas Crawley is more urban. Do, please, find a little space to continue this reporting.

• Where has the jet stream map gone? I don’t buy your paper every day but it has been missing from the last two copies I bought. It helped me make sense of what was happening with the weather. I know I can’t change the weather, but I can change my activities and expectations with appropriate information. Please bring it back if you have axed it.

• Now that the lighting-up times etc have been reintroduced, is there still hope for Pieceword?
