Victor in Mapperton BS: Could we really see a summer in 2009 ? (13) BS: Could we really see a summer in 2009 ? 30 Dec 08


An interesting story on the ITN news this lunchtime. Climate scientists have predicted that 2009 is set to be one of the five warmest years on record.

The average global temperature for 2009 is expected to be more than 0.4C above the long term average, the Met Office and University of East Anglia researchers said.

The Met Office also predicted a rapid return to long-term warming for global temperatures and an increased probability of record temperatures after 2009.

Currently the warmest year on record is 1998, which saw average temperatures of 14.52C - well above the 1961 to 1990 long-term average of 14C. I was surprised, as I thought 1975 or 1976 was warmer.

Maybe I will grow something other than moss in my hanging baskets this year !
