WORST SUMMER SINCE 1816

It's being so cheerful what keeps us goin'!

 

Depends, seen any Arctic Skuas in Dorset yet?

 

Tickled me pink that Freddy "Agrees" with this post

 

This French weather channel isn't owned by the daily express by any chance??
On the up side it's slightly drier that last year p

 

Hmm, now, let's consider "modernity" ... plenty of people buying garden: pools/sauna's/Jacuzzi's/ .... nope, can't see any bog standard "central heating" there, FC ... just people with cash to burn

 

Blow the weather! We had an earthquake about 4am this morning, it only measured 3.8 but an earthquake it was...... apparently.

 

Funny that we had curry too!

 

So did Loli - one of those Naga whotsits....
could be in for a spell of this then :

 

I cant find it now but read somewhere that the low sunspots and the thames ice fairs coincided and could be returning
Just remembered it was the DailyLiar

 

Sounds pretty normal to me. With the exception of last year, which truly was unusual (in my experience), Britain doesn't have summer, yet for some reason we still all believe it does. We get a couple of weeks in late spring, and a week or two at the end of 'summer'. The rest of the time we'll get weather that changes on an hour by hour basis.

 

Well as it stands the start of June, will be nice, with warm dry weather for most places. I'm not sure I buy what the French article has said, but I understand why they would say it.

For me there's an equal chance of a good summer as there is a bad summer. Things this year are a little different than previous years I think, much drier for a start, and this difference in pattern could help bring more settled weather.
