I knew it was coming today. I have been following the weather patterns for years, but it still took me by surprise. I saw the banks of thin white clouds just as the weather radar had told us.
Today is the last day of 20+ degree temperature in the U.K. for six months. It won’t come back now. It is going to drop a good 9 degrees starting overnight. The seasonal storms in Africa that spiral out across the mid-Atlantic are stronger, more frequent, so that by the time those hurricanes come round the east coast of Canada and under Iceland they will gather moisture and dump colder, wetter weather on the U.K. from now.
It has not been a particularly good summer. A long, cool, dry Spring. It gets darker now, earlier. I don’t mind the seasons. It’s just that this Summer has been poor weather for many things here.
