On the positive side after such an abysmal winter the law of averages must suggest a scorchio 1976 style summer. Prepare for hosepipe bans and standpipes in the streets!

Look at the outlook for later this week. ONE DAY of easterly winds followed by a change in the wind direction and another Atlantic deluge!! I fear for those living in the south west. The level and frequency of rainfall we are getting now is just frankly ridiculous.
Constant model watching won't alter the fact, (that a few cold blips aside over the past few winters) our weather is going down the pan. It was never a great climate to start with but it is getting progressively worse!!
I share Andy's sense of "optimism"
