So, June was a wash-out and July is forecast to be the same. The weather is definitely acting unusually with periods of sunshine and blue skies interspersed with squalls, lightening and hail - This time last year we were basking in 30°C sunshine and worried about water shortages; the weather is very much in flux.
To me this is a sign that change is not only on the way, but upon us. The equilibrium has been broken and the weather is oscillating until it finds a new stable point. I recall many years ago early global warming warnings (try saying that when you're drunk!) predicting that the UK would get warmer and wetter with rain fall being less regular and more torrential. Hmmm... I see a match here! Of course, a few years of slightly warmer and wetter weather is not conclusive, but could well be prescient of things to come.
Already there is massive glacier losses in the Andes and the Alps and of course the great polar ice sheets which appear to be shedding ice at an increasing rate.
We live in interesting times...
