Not a great deal of change - the 'indications' of drier-than-average
conditions over southern Britain won't be welcome though after the past
8 weeks.

The presenter of a "special report" on BBC TV News last night commenting
on this updated forecast said something along the lines of

"There's a 1 in 8 chance of a summer as hot as last year so we're
in for another really scorching summer"

The 7 chances in 8 that it won't be as hot as last year was completely
ignored. It would probably help if the Met Office forecast was a bit
more explicit, saying that it is unlikely that it will be as hot as 2003
or 2006. The forecast, as it stands, emphasises the unlikely and ignores
the likely.
