Take this with a huge pinch of salt, but over the past week I have had an
increasing hunch that this summer is likely to be very dry with long warm
spells interspersed with a few very localised dramatic thunderstorms. Not a
record breaker in terms of temperature but notable for its dryness with the
Azores high closer than normal. Are my hunches worth anything? I'll let you
all be the judge of that :-)

Will - my hunch has been of the reverse, another non-event "cool"
summer like last year. This is based on no particular reasoning !
