There was something on the BBC a few months ago where they were talking about sea temperatures and how they affect our weather here in the UK. Based on their numbers we were due for a hard winter this year? So far they have been wrong. I suppose we will just have to sit tight and wait?
Everyone seems to be saying this summer will be mixed temperatures but dryer than a decade ago with drought problems up and down the country.
In 1976 when there was a hose pipe ban nation wide, Wales was also included in the ban even though we would have had enough water in Wales to carry on using our hoses. I know this for a fact because I used to work for Welsh Water (Hyder) before it was turned into a "not for profit" company (the only one in the UK). Now all profits are plowed back into fixing their own leaking pipelines that are the causes for 95% of all water lost each year.
