It could be just a blip in the general trend, nothing works to a
perfect rhythm, so I'm not convinced. The past 12 months the UK has
seen quite a number of cooler months, but my gut feeling is we've seen
the last of them for a while, infact April is looking particularly
warmer than average, but we will have to see what the summer brings,
but I wouldn't be surprised to see higher temperatures again. Even a
massive volcanic eruption would only slow the trend down for a year or
two.

I've heard that solar activity is the lowest for about a century, so
that could well be overriding any man-made climate effects.
