I am no professional meteorologist (its hard enough to spell!) but spend a lot of time out on my bicycle and do take close note of weather patterns.

Summer 06 was reasonable in parts but not that good – I remember a really hot weekend on the beach but Eastern Haze was washed out.

Summer 07 was even worse, with a promising start in April but by end of July temperatures staying low and lots of rain.

Summer 08 was so abysmal I actually forgot to put a paragraph about it at first until I realised I had missed a year. Again I think it was similar to 07 with more rain. It was still cold in June, I remember being at Philosophers fair and having to cower in a tent with a coat around me as I felt fucking frozen…

I think as its still cold now its maybe more likely to be similar to Summer ’06 which was OK…
