This year started of an absolute cracker of a summer! Remeber Wimbledon? It was hot, it was sunny, and they only had to shut the roof during a thunderstorm, as a result of the good weather. Now its the end of August and there has hardly been a day over 20C (in scotland at least) for the entire month, and the rain has been relentless.

How did the long range forecasters get it so wrong? Well there are rumours appearing that there is anothe El nino starting in the Pacific, perhaps this is why our summer seemed to come to a halt all of a sudden. Come back soon for further explanation and ideas.

“Ash before oak, in for a soak,

Oak before Ash, in for a splash!”

The above quote is a familiar country saying especially in west coast of scotland. If the Ash tree;s leaves come out before the oak tree then the summer is predicted to be a wet one. On the other hand however, if the oak tree blooms before the ash then there will only be a splash of rain during the summer. Meaning that it is going to a good one. This is another country saying which may or may not turn out to be true. But, as it happens this year the Oak’s leaves have come out before the Ash, so at last this we are due for a good summer, according to the trees anyway!
