but there again it IS the Daily Mail and the Met Office so do we believe either of them? ;)

Every single year they seem to say it'll be the wettest ever summer/ coldest ever winter. But as they generally can't predict the weather even a day ahead, I'll take it all with a pinch of salt!

Its quite clever of them actually. If it is what they forecast we will know they are right. If they are wrong we will not care as the weather will be great!

That drawing of the pesky jet stream dumping bad weather on you lot appears to originate right over where I live. Sorry about that: sunny and 24 here:)...OK. I'll leave.

Gawd, I hope their wrong.

they predicted a BBQ summer a few years ago and it was nothing of the sort, so now they tend to preduct the worst case scenarios. (But the weather still turns out worse even than that.)

The only place to get a red alert for rain last year was the Bridport area of Dorset. Guess who was camping near Bridport last year:-(((( We had 1 night under canvas, 1 night in a B&B & came home:-((((((( Guess who's going to Dorset in July?

The poor old jet stream doesn't make the bad weather. Its a result of the meeting of air masses which creates the fronts that cause the rain. Not much compensation though. We are still going to get a wetting, just like we often do in August.

It's being described by the forecasters as a typical British summer in prospect. Only the Daily Mail could present the normal as worthy of a headline in quite the way they do !

Hmm.....
According to the diagram the new path of the jetstream is directly over chez moi en France. Whither I am bound on the morrow.
Does that mean I will return orange?
