Uk Summer
« on: July 03, 2007, 05:00:32 PM »
All airlines pay lots and lots of money to have future weather patterns predicted as much as possible, this helps us work out demand for holidays.

Today we got the predicted forecsasts for the rest of July and August - constant rain, just as it has been in June, maybe a little worse. Time to book another holdiay I think :)

Whatever happened to the long hot summer which was predicted earlier in the year? We must have had it in April......

It will still be hot, just in the damp, warm, muggy way we all love.

It's global warming I tell you!!!

Summer? What's that...?

Yep, I'm afraid it is the dreaded global warming that keeps the high pressure fronts away from here hovering over pacific and just leaves us with a low pressure front after another :(

52 mornings to wake till my summer starts in Arillas :)
Life is good ;)

Hi Joe,

How accurate are these forecasts? Does this mean our British summer is going to be a total wash out.


Thanks

John

About 70% - 80% and which is much more accuarte than say the BBC, basically it's large computers analysing patterns so it is still only a forecast but they are usually right. The further in the future the more chance of error but July looks bad. September in the UK so far is looking very good!

Thanks for that! Moving into the caravan Monday I was hoping for a few weeks of sun! Well at least I know where I will be Tuesday, I bet that keeps the prices up too. Do not get me going on global warming, i know who I blame, gosh it is not rocket science. I am writing this as yet again a big black cloud drops it contents, oh well at least i will get the ironing done!

Don't forget we had an outstanding April (and May?) weatherwise, the seasons are just getting a little confused.

Everyone (especially me!) seems really grumpy at the moment - just wish it would stop raining or warm up a bit.

Joe, you pointing at the new Burger King in your pic??
