Well, it's not looking good if you're a sun and heat lover for this
summer, now we're into July and high pressure seems to be avoiding us
like the plague. Is this goning to be two years in a row, something not
unusual, of grim summer weather? Of course, it may pick up for August,
one can only hope.

The omens are not good; Philip Eden has mentioned in his monthly synoptic
overviews that there has been higher than average pressure over Greenland
in each of the last 3 months, and this month has continued to show high
pressure in the Iceland/Greenland region, so far.Clearly, this means that
depression tracks will continue to follow routes further south than usual
and no settled spells for Britain - although Scotland often fares well in
these situations.Some sources seem to suggest that the weather will improve
after mid-month - I shall believe it when it happens.
