But make the most of it as yet more heavy rain is due to spread in from
the west
on Wednesday.

I had to laugh at the media at lunchtime, they made a thing about
comparing this
week with that exceptional summer weather last year (as if that was
normal).
They also kept on saying why have got all this rain - its summer? Hello -
ding.
You wouldn't get such torrential convective type origin downpours in
winter,
doh!


But week after week of incessant rain, with little or no respite from it,
isn't 'normal' for summer either.
It's way before my time but I've heard it said in this ng that the summers
of the 50s/60s were like this. Well I'm not sure I believe that. The
torrential
downpours, the terrible flooding, the woeful lack of sunshine.
Surely summer 2007 (so far) would compare poorly even with those more
'traditional' British summers?
