Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 15, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2021 Not arsed if we don't get 30⁰C plus temps. 20-25 is plenty. Some rain, some sun and some freedoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmed Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 April wettest on record? May wet and freezing so far too. For Gods sake it’s June in 2 weeks and after everything we have had to contend with as well, surely we all deserve a nice summer. I walk 15KM per day and 3 days this week I’ve come back frozen stiff and looking like a drowned rat!!!! No sign of it changing any time soon either…….

For where the jet stream is going to be and all the shit that happens in southern/Western Hemisphere that dictates our shit, they are usually a good guide to the generic weather across our lands. Last thing we want is warm low pressure shit heading up to us. Need the jet stream to sort it’s head out. Yep. Bloke I was at uni with is involved with all the jet stream stuff. He melts my brain with the science but our weather all starts right down in the south of the globe and what’s happening down there right now tells us that we’re in for a shit summer. Warm but lots of rain. Jet stream, tidal flows, summat to do with circulating currents in the oceans. Way over my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
