If we do see a return to Westerlies, I think we will be in for an
awful summer due to the relatively low sea surface temperatures
currently around our shores for the time of year.

However, if we don't see a return to westerlies (usually 2 in every
7
years) then we could see this summer going the same way as the
famous
summer of 1976, whereby we have Northern blocking synoptics.

I gut feeling is that the westerlies will return, and we will have a
poor summer, so make the most of this weekend.

.... normally, I'd agree with you, but I've been keeping a close eye on
the Met Office seasonal output (now they themselves don't make much of
it).

.... for three issues in a row (March, April & May), the Met Office
'GloSea' output has indicated 'warm more likely' across much of the
British Isles for June, July & August.

.... they've been wrong before of course, but three outputs with a
consistent message is, shall we say, 'interesting'!
