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.

Don't much like the look of the next 10 days or so, a worrying
tendency for a NW-SE low track and little sign of high pressure
building anywhere in Europe away from the typically-good Mediterranean
(typical as I'm off to Amsterdam and Germany in a weeks' time), but
plenty of time to improve later I guess.
