So December is the only month with a negative anomoly, and the
greatest warming is in Spring. Once again May 2008 has been
exceptionally warm.

Apart from last year's wet summer for the UK as a whole, I thought the trend
(pre-2007) was for increasingly drier summers and wetter winters. With June
being dry here, if the summer settles and the rest of July is dry as well as
August then this summer could still end up being drier than normal (a long
shot I know!).

Interesting to note that until recently (post 2000), June was the only month
that stubbornly refused to show any signs of warming from the long-term CET
data set. Since 2000 I believe that this month is now showing a warming
trend.
