I have a theory that if global warming continues then the mountains will be the
best place to live. We have seen this in miniature in UK this summer. At my
modest height of 1000 feet I have enjoyed a wonderful summer with highest
temperature of 29.0 deg C and many many days (not counted yet !) of days over 21
deg C. But also just enough rain to keep going and the grass has stayed green
all summer (just as in Ian's experience) whereas, as we all know lowland
southern Briatin, particularly the SE is parched and suffering.

Ian the Alps are a wonderful place aren't they ? Glad you had a super holiday.

ATB,

Will.

Will,
I would have thought that your location on the western fringes was a
more important factor than altitude. I spent last week in SW Wales (at
low level). Everything there was lush and green, in stark contrast to
what we currently have in South Bucks. Only 3.9 mm here last Thu/Fri but
it did turn the grass a tad greener.
