 Global warming, more like global rain!!! Ok, so there is no doubt that the planet is warming up. Whether or not my flights to Egypt contribute to it is for another thread. With this global warming we are supposed to get warmer, wetter summers and more mild winters. Ok, I get that bit and yes its more mild in the winter, yes our summers are slowly getting warmer but when they say wetter I hope they dont mean of Biblical proportions. Its been so wet here that I keep checking my feet for webbed toes. To be honest, its not even that warm as we lit the fire last night. Is this what we can expect in future or are my plans for growing rice a bit premature?

| Funnily enough PW I've been considering rice on the wettest part of my plot  but I don't think it would take our winter temps even here. Well not yet anyway.

| I'm just thinking of how nice it is for my waterbutts! Still very warm over this way, I'm sat here with all my windows open listening to the fourth thunderstorm this week.

| Same in North Wales, big flashes of lightening every few minutes,but I seem to remember summers like this when I was a kid in the 50's. I don't know if the weather is changing, it just seems to come at different times of the year! |

| I don't want to be the harbinger of doom, but from what I have heard, the whole thing is a bit like Brownian motion: when the liquid gets hotter, all the molecules are dashing around all over the place, totally at random, colliding with one another ever more vigorously. The weather is apparently very similar - all to do with Chaos Theory, and butterflies in the Andes... Expect nothing if not turbulence and uncertainty!

| Funnily enough I was thinking that the rains were late this year. Normally Chelsea Flower Show week is when there are torrential thunder storms on at least one day, didn't happen this year, but is now making up for lost time.

However, if someone asks you "Is it going to rain?", in this country there is only one answer. "Yes!" Because it may not be today or tomorrow, but it will, eventually! My wife and I were actually saying how warm it still was around here, despite all the rain. Almost tropical. Perhaps I'll be growing pineapples and bananas soon!

| Warm and wet round here. Good growing weather, Mr Flum and I were saying to each other yesterday. Sadly I think it's good blight weather too.

| We seem to be getting grey/black skies, thunder in the distance, and only about 15 mins of heavy rain then it's back to sun/overcast. It's like April showers but with high humidity and temps - a little odd and as said 'tropical' like. |

| Anyone who forecats a British summer more than 7 days in advance is paid to do it: and anyone who reads it is a fool and wasting their time. For obvious reasons... like the Atlantic Ocean and the European landmass... Last edited by Madasafish; 20-06-2007 at 03:24 PM. |
