Thought the thread was going to be about oxymorons.

Southeast Alaska is having the same kind of summer. One man said he is going to start traveling south until he reaches a place where the temperature outdoors is as high as that indoors.

Our high temps have mostly been in the 50sF. And, oh yes, wet.

We had our church fete and Open Farm Day today and the weather was lovely, sunny with a light breeze (always a breeze in Norfolk UK) I'm very sorry for the people in West Wales with their terrible floods, but in East Anglia this past week hasn't been too bad. Have to say though, I'm happiest in West Africa in temps of over 30!

I played at the Ditchling Village Fair yesterday (in Sussex). The wind was so high at one point it blew the PA speakers down - and my face was thoroughly sunburned! When the sun went behind a cloud, my leather jacket went back on - when the sun came out, I was sweltering.

And today, playing at the Henfield Gardens & Arts Festival, the sun never stopped shining... Lord knows what tomorrow will bring...

There's that British thing again. Surely you're talking about the English summer?

If the sun don't come you get a tan from standing in the English rain

I first saw that graphic representing Ireland. It suggested Singapore as an alternative. Spain is a bit closer, more affordable, one imagines!

We (in Texas) are having summer here, but we're having more rain than summers usually offer - a huge relief after last year's drought and heat wave. I have the best crop of tomatoes in at least three years. Trying not to make too big a deal of it, in case the gods notice and take away the sporadic and very helpful thunderstorms.

Michael, that's RUST!

THE LITTLE WEATHERMAN
Tune "The Little Beggarman" (Irish Trad.)


I am a little weatherman, you'll see me on TV,
I stand upon a box because I'm only five foot three,
I smile into the camera, to communicate to you,
That I really know me job, and every word I say is true,
        Of all the trades that's going, meteorology's the one,
        With the greatest chance of failure, ah! But that is half the fun,
        It really doesn't matter if I cock it up you see,
        For, when I'm on you're all out in the kitchen making tea.

Oh! The mysteries of forecasting are really quite obscure,
But the use of Doppler radar makes prediction very sure,
I forecast dry and sunny, over twenty three degrees,
And it rains so hard the water level's well above your knees,
        Take a tip, take the day off, take the car, get out of town,
        Pay a visit to the seaside, and you're sure to come back brown,
        You may boast about your suntan, if you really feel you must,
        But, unless they're blind or stupid, they will realise it's rust.

I stood upon me little box, one dark and stormy night,
And I told ten million viewers "There's no hurricane in sight",
Next morning, scattered far and wide were fifteen million trees,
I must be the country's worst case of the foot in mouth disease,
        And since that day I've tried right hard, to cover my backside,
        I predict the worst scenario, whatever might betide,
        For repeating that fiasco is the last thing I would wish,
        So TOMORROW WILL BE ROTTEN, and goodnight from Michael Fish.
