« UK Big Weekend | Main | Assault »

Worst summer in recent memory?
It's halfway through the summer, and apart from the 2 days on the Big Weekend, we haven't seen much of the sun. People here have been complaining about the 'freak' weather.
BBC tries to explain: "The reason for the recent wet weather has been the Jet Stream. This conveyor belt of strong winds, way up in the atmosphere, has steered a series of low pressure systems unusually far-south for this time of year. So instead of hitting Iceland as it would normally, they have cruised across the UK, depositing plenty of rain.
As a result, the 'Azores High', which often visits our shores at this time of year bringing pleasant summer sunshine, has been kept at bay.
So unless the Jet Stream buckles and heads back north again - we may have to get used to more of the same."
After having amazing May, June has been a complete let down and July is looking like a write off too. Ah well never mind, you just have to take what you get :)
