If you'ld like my very humble opinion Paul ,I think it will be a very
ordinary summer this year some nice,some grotty some wet and some dry
,nothing to write home about then.
So poor enough to enable all you shade loving perennials to keep your vests
on.
Anybody else want to join in with a summer forecast ?,the worst attempt
should give a tenner to their favourite charity come September......

Only last year April gave so many people a sence of a long hot summer
and then it all went terribly wrong. Looking at the trends in the
models April looks like being plagued with easterlies with most of
the rain in the south. A long way to go yet, but anyone wanting some
real summery weather will have to wait till May.

Just my personal thoughts.

Of course, it all depends on how you define "summery" :-)

Anyone else define summer as a prison sentence, with parole usually coming
some time in early September?
