Par for the course, Jon.

Is it just my imagination or does "summer" always take a while to get
going of late?

It's good news for those who suffer from hayfever, myself included ! £6.25
or so a month for all my tablets, nasal spray and eye drops. How many of
the population nowadays suffer from it, does anybody know ?

I always found that the run upto summer was one step forward two steps back,
especially here in Southend-on-Sea when the weather warms up and then in
comes a sea breeze with mist and it feels like winter in a small space of
time :-(

Late June/July/August/Early September, that's about the size of it
generally.

As with most allergies, the incidence has shown a steep increase in recent
years and there are quite a few theories as to why this has happened, none
of them proved, as yet.

*However*, as a martyr myself to hayfever 30 years ago (GCEs were always
made much worse by that incessant blocked nose and itchy eyes), I've now
grown out of it completely.

It started to leave me when I turned 40. I wouldn't wish middle-age on
you, Joe, but it does have its compensations. I also used to take heart
in the theory that those who have allergies are less prone to cancer
(something to do with having a more sensitive immune system (!)) but I
don't know whether that's been proved or disproved now, either.

I think CEP Brookes suggested June 1st as the average date for the
European Monsoon. Par for the course indeed!

I noticed a couple of days ago, after some rain, that the puddles were
ringed with yellow. Presumably the pollen that had been washed out of
the air.

I used to sufer very badly and applied some logic along the lines 'Hay
fever is an allergy triggered by pollen. Honey contains pollen. Eat
honey.' For the last thirty years I've eaten a teaspoon of honey every
morning and rarely suffer from hay fever.

I for one dont think That June is a particularly good month for summer
weather, especially the first two weeks which are invariably of a polar
maritime nature, although there are some exceptions. The reason I say this,
is that even when I was younger my father always had the first or second
week in June for his holiday in the UK. No matter where we went. Wales, Lake
district, Yorkshire, Norfolk it was nothing but rain, rain, rain almost
every year. Sadly our last holiday with him was in 1977 and guess what?
RAIN.

I know that during the 90's, June's weather was often poor, in my
recollection only June 1996 was anything like decent!

And even during the famous spring/summer of 1990, June was
poor. I recall it being rather wet and although it was anticyclonic
for a time as well I seem to remember it being a cloudy high for
days on end, somewhat strange that the sun at the very height
of it's powers couldn't shift the cloud.

June 1996 sticks in my mind too, as did a certain 3 Lions song.
Perhaps an omen.. (but necessarily in terms of weather !)

June '75 had snow in Buxton, so bad weather is nothing new

(Yes I know what happened over the next 18 months, and I'm NOT going to say
it!!)
