Summer

[Sombrero]

Without looking back at the data, doesn't this feel like the best summer we've had in the last decade?

As a kid I remember endless sunny, hot summers....

Are droughts a thing of the past?

That's what I was getting at raebhoop... I think when you work, you miss most of the nice weather because you're on a site, down a hole, up a scaffold, in an office, in a van etc. But when you're a kid those hot sunny days last forever !

Think you were tempting fate with this topic.


Who was it that said recently 'there are only two things that can ruin an English summer: the English weather, and the English'.

Only if the lightning can't be seen directly because it is behind the clouds. 'Sheet lighting' is forked lightning.
