I remember the water shortages last year - now it appears that the UK is going to get this year's share, and last year's share, all at once...

Perils of living near the sea? Global warming? The perpetually chaotic weather of the British Isles?

More mud for Glastonbury, I suppose.

For you in the UK, how will you spend your summer in the rain?

Your link's broken (double-HTTPed), by the way...

And so long as the weather's nice between about the 10th and 17th of July I don't much care ;)

Well given the house pipe bans over the previous years I'd say it was catch up...not that this will in any way redress the balance.

The Japanese have invented an umbrella with internet.

And that's still not as obnoxious as the iPhone in my book.

This month we had a week where it rained the mm of the entire month.

Last friday, during the day it made 29°c degrees. Today, in the morning it was 5°c and now its 10°c.

I just love this. :mad:
