Up to 2009 we had really hot dry summers. Then suddenly God
decided once again he didn’t like the way people in this country were living
such sinful lives that he decide to punish us by filling the summer months with rain.
Well that’s what opponents of same sex marriage said anyway.
What really happened is the Atlantic Ocean warmed up, possibly due to climate
change or maybe just something that happens from time to time.
A group of meteorologist recently ( May 2013) met in Exeter
and decided that the Atlantic was going through a 20 year warming cycle. This
warming has affected the Jet Stream, bringing it further south which produces
loads of rain brought in by the persistent South West winds that blow over the
UK. If this is true then the next sunny summer we will have here in the UK will
be in 2030 or there abouts. I will be 87 by then, I could even miss it.
But I have set this post to re-appear in 2016, 2021, 2026 and
2031 so we can check on the accuracy of the Met Offices prediction.
