I used this logic(?) when my neighbours asked me at the end of one long,
hot, dry summer what the next summer would be like. The year was 1975. Doh!

Well, as I said in my second post, as soon as you detect a trend it
ends. That does imply there was a trend! or even such a cycle exists.

Cheers, Alastair.
