Talking about the weather ...

With the Met Office making a U-turn on their "barbecue summer" prediction, it seems that August is still a largely unknown quantity for the UK. One thing for sure, we are all talking about it!

Forecasters suggest that as we head into August there continues to be indications that the weather across the country may well improve, with an increasing chance of drier and warmer conditions returning. Confidence is low on the exact developments as it always is when looking more than a few days ahead, but they recommend that we don't completely give up on this summer yet!

It reminds me that one of my favourite quotes is from Sir Winston Churchill who suggested, “Weathermen are right 46% of the time. Therefore, if you always assume the opposite you are more likely to be right than they are!”

It seems he might have been right.
