A week or so into the month, after we'd had some rather cloudy, cool and
damp weather, I seem to remember one or two posters to this group
pouring scorn on the UKMO long range forecast that the summer was likely
to be rather drier and warmer than average. That forecast isn't looking
too bad now, though of course there are still two months to go.

(I've snipped the anomalies for Scotland and NI, but they are broadly
similar to those quoted above.)
