Well temperatrues of above average, it says, means above 14.1C - not much to write home about! I do hope we do get something like a summer though. The last two have been such a disappointment.

A repeat of the wet summers of 2007 and 2008 is unlikely

That's the bit that's put a smile on my face

Cheers Di!

I hate to be cynical...no I don't, its the way I'm made...but don't they say that every year?

'We're set for an Indian Summer this year' - reality is a completely normal summer.
'It can't be as bad as last year' - reality, it probably will be, coz thats just the norm for the UK

I actually really love rain, and it means I don't have to water the garden and lottie so often. I don't do well in heat, so actually a 'normal' summer would be just fine with me. If I wanted it hot, I'd go abroad for a fortnight. So long as we get enough sunny spells for my fruit and veg to grow and ripen without being burnt to a crisp I'm happy.

PS...Sorry everyone who likes hot summers

[kirsty b]

Bright and sunny on 25th July please. As long as its nice then, it can be hurricanes for the rest of the year for all I care!

Seriously, I am hoping that the snow/cold spell we had is a portent of a drier summer.

The Oaks are out before the Ash...

So a good summer is on it's way!

I always get that one wrong! I though it was "the oak before the ash, a soak and not a splash; the ash before the oak, a splash and not a soak."

Of course, getting it wrong makes a WHOLE lots of difference!

I hope it rains from 23-30 June cos that's when I am on holiday! The rest of the summer of course it's going to be glorious
I must be a glass half full (of rainwater) kind of gal lol
