===================

We've been discussing this sort of thing here, too.

The likes of, oh let's say The Express and their usual rent-a-quote, would
have us believe in a country bathed in a 'proper' 'scorching' 'heatwave'
with temperatures up 35C. In fact, The Express's front page banner headline
today is a simply enormous '95F'.

That story goes on to say that, despite this, August will be a 'washout'.
I'm not buying that either. I envisage a relatively anticylonically
dominated
August.

==================

We have to disagree there a bit Steve, I fancy it will be an unsettled and
thundery August with an upper trough over us and that dratted jetstream
(which affects all northern hemisphere weather in mid-latitudes) to the
south of us again. But that is just extrapolating the GFS fantasy charts on
a bit.
We shall see. But you know what, we can forget the possible 40C now that I
got so excited about back in March!!!
