Is it just me, or has this summer been a truly dull, so-so,predictable
one?

I live in a small place called Kingsthorpe, in the Northamptonshire
County. I am also an ex-Canadian.

But why havent i seen any thunderstorms..heavy rain..anything! The
skies, yes they become grey..and yes a few sprinkles will fall, but
nothing really "exciting" happens.

Its just been a summer of sun..and a few clouds..then sun..a few
clouds...

Whats worse is that the forecasters have been predicting storms but
none seem to happen.

Dull.

Storms in the UK are normally hit and miss, down the road from you there
have been some awesome storms. I know how you feel, I've been one of the
unlucky ones too.
