I thought that global warming forecast warm wet Winters and hot dry
Summers, so they got that wrong in most respects.

It forecast extreme weather.
Weather is generated by temperature differences.

Yes, precisely. The meteorologists (as distinct from the Daily Wail
and Murdogians) said that the one thing we would guarantee was less
predictability, but their best guess is that the UK would get colder
and wetter.

Which is why now it is knows as Climate Change.

Really? A few years ago it was hotter and dryer and we'd all be growing

It's because of all the hose pipe bans. The same thing happened in '76, the
Government made someone a drought czar and it didn't stop raining
thereafter. It's a policy that obviously works well.

Ah! The hot Summer of 1976. I spent nearly all of that dry period fighting
to get planning permission to put a big extension on the front of my house.
AOB and they were finicky. Got planning permission at last, when the skies
opened :-((

Did I enjoy that nice hot sunny Summer? No :-( I was teaching in one of the
prisons :-( 13 locks to undo to get my room ready!

I do so wish that people would not panic about drought. We have a maritime
climate in the UK and it will sort itself.
We won't ever have too much sun or too much rain (but it will not come
exactly as we want it)
After a supposed drought, it's been throwing it down here most days for
three weeks, sometime for 36 hours and we have had floods.
It will work itself out. It always does.

I do wish people would understand the definition of a draught before
going on about it.

I just wish people could grasp the difference between a drought and a
draught.

Surely we have too much of everything weather wise, and increasingly
so according to global warming predictions?
So, depending on how the highs and lows are distributed in the
Atlantic we either get several weeks of rain, several weeks of sun,
several weeks of wind, cold, etc., instead of a day or two of this and
a day or two of that.

I agree it will work itself out though and come down to averages in
the long-term but often the weather is damned inconvenient to say the
least and goes on for far too long.

I do wish people would check with responsible web sites such as NOAA and NASA rather than just glibly repeating what the Watermelons propaganda says. There is no proven correlation between weather events and global warming, indeed the number of land fall hurricanes has considerably decreased since the 1950s. The main cause of such events are the El Nino and La Nina events currently we are in a declining La Nina period.

But where would we be without weather?
