Hi Darren, predicting summer seems as difficult as predicting snow this
year! After this weekend turned out so nice I think I'll wait nearer the
time for next weekend. Thanks, as usual.
It rather reminds me of the winter setup, whereby a depression moving a
couple of hundred miles can make a big difference to the type of weather at
a given location. Compare that with the situation in recent years, where
pressure gradiants are slack and more often than not there's a huge ridge
nearby and it's little wonder things are so variable this time around. I
certainly don't envy anyone involved with making medium term (7 to 10 day)
forecasts at the moment.

P.S - I expect you caught some of last night's rain? 1mm here for whole of
weekend!
We had some torrential rain around 9PM yesterday (with thunder), plus some
more in the early hours of this morning. I couldn't say how much, though, as
the rain guage seems to have stopped transmitting for some reason!
