In spring 2009, UK forecasters were predicting a beautiful summer. Across Britain, everyone was expecting a Barbecue Summer.
Except weather forecasting isn’t so easy! Rainfall in July was twice the monthly average with close to 14 cm of rain recorded.
Most people remain pragmatic about the vagaries of the British climate, but some opinion has turned against forecasters, accusing them of being too vague and too far off the mark. Maybe this is what lead meteorologists to forecast rain in August, to keep expectations low!
