First summer in 7 years!

Assuming soggy includes clouds and hazy skies every day for weeks on end, they're right on the button so far.

wet and miserable, were the words.

You jumped to conclusions - They never said the ground had to be wet, but with all those clouds the sky has been soaking!

they said there would be twisters as well, but that might have been a bit of spin

It was only a few weeks ago that the met office told us to expect ten soggy summers on the trot.

I'm starting to wonder a bit about the met office

I think they should keep making bad predictions as the weather always seems to do the opposite of what they say.

Like BBQ summer?

In all fairness, they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. The UK weather is probably the most difficult to predict in the world, as we're subject to Atlantic gulf streams, arctic and and african winds, and continental pressure systems. There are so many variables, that they only have to get one wrong for the lot to come tumbling down. I mean, this isn't Sri Lanka - Hot, and hot and wet, or Miami Hot, build up of humidity, 4pm storm, then hot again.

They've so far got most of the year right, but then we suddenly get this.
