At last good news — after the threatened flu pandemic, credit crunch and global recession, this summer in Britain could be warm and dry. According to Met Office chief meteorologist Ewen McCallum, it is “odds-on for a barbecue summer, and we can expect times when temperatures will be above 30C. Last year we had only one day of that temperature.”
Well here we are in June and this morning my central heating 'pinged' on again....as it did yesterday and the day before.
This global warming is very worrying.
Now we all think of Australia as a place of hot beaches, surfing, lots of BBQ's etc.
But all is not what it seems.
I have just received theses two pics from a friend in Australia which were taken yesterday.

So what can we look forward to here?
Well we are told that the chances are better than 50 per cent that temperatures will be above Britain’s summer average of 14.1C (57.4F), while rainfall will be near or below normal. After the dreadful summers of the past two years, with floods, clouds and cool winds, that opens the way to a boost for domestic tourism. A holiday at home in these tough times may pay off in more ways than one, because temperatures across the Mediterranean are not expected to rise above their average.
Do you believe them?
Better get ready for the unexpected.

hi kippers
ReplyDeleteWhen i saw the picture of the girl snow boarding reminded me to tell you,when i looked out of my window on wednesday morning,the day it snowed, i saw a chap and he looked like he had a funny walk looking closer i could see that he was skiing on the fresh snow,you don't see that too often here in australia, first time for me!!
Australia is such a large country that I suppose the climate must be vastly different from north to south.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a cut off line across the country above which they never get snow? Thanks for the pictures.
Always welcome.
