Hello All

It has been raining here in Wolverhampton, since Monday evening, and with
the forecast for next week, being even more rain.

Does anyone think that this year will be like year 2000, where if I remember
correctly, we didn't have a summer, it just rained, and rained and rained !

Yes I do. There is a thing called the Quasi Biennial Oscilation (QBO) which
could mean that 2000, 2002, and 2004 are all years with wet summers.
Anyway it seems reasonable to get a hot summer followed by a wet
summer.

Cheers, Alastair.
