When do we start, at least for the anticyclonic summers? *Haven't been many
of those these last three years. *Two cyclonic and one less so is the count
here in the "deep south". *For those further north who can no longer get
flood insurance, the promise of warmer, drier summers looks like a cruel
joke (which, of course, this year rebounded spectacularly on the Met.
Office).

Or has my taking up playing cricket three years ago had some miraculous
effect which overrides the "global warming" signal?

Just a moment while I put some more coal on the fire before oiling the
bat...

Over a longer period though, the period 1989-2009 seems to have had
better summers than 1980-88 (can't speak for before that, as my first
summer in the south was 1980). And to be fair summer 2009 wasn't that
bad round here (Southampton), particularly if you throw in May and
September. It did seem significantly cloudier than average though, and
high summer was cooler. This seemed to be due to an unusual sea
temperature anomaly though.
