Blowing Bubbles and the weather - calling mumsnet scientists !

[scoobysnax]

I have noticed that how easy it is to blow bubbles varies each day presumably according to the weather/ atmospheric conditions?
Has anyone else noticed this and do you know why?

Am I imagining things?

Don't know anything at all about the weather affecting the bubbles but I do know you're not supposed to shake the mixture at all. Every other mum probably knows this but it was news to me and has greatly enhanced my success.

Didn't know that Welshmum either. Don't know answer to yours either Scoobysnax. Learn something new all the time on MN.

We have a bubble machine now and so much easier!

I've found them difficult to blow in the bath...thought it must be the humidity.

It think that it probably has something to do with the humidity. I would have thought that the bubbles would last longer in humid conditions as the liquid in the bubble mix would be less likley to evaporate. But I am happy to be corrected
