Re: Cold early Spring

Certainly not! I actually put a lot of effort into that.

If you look at the MetO site their official forecast also goes for a cold
start to Spring too, so there! Also Eric Belton (a very experienced retired
meteorologist) is going for a cold March and April. Can't remember what
Phillip Eden went for?

Amazed you like heat living in London, the times I have been to London in
summer ( I worked in the centre for a while) it has at times been ghastly,
not a breath of wind and very very hot, noisy and polluted. In fact with
global warming it is seriously thought that some cities could become
inhabitable in the summer months.

By jingo Mr.Hand - you started something here.
Even made me recall digging through the snow to the privy at the bottom
of
the garden in '48.

Very hot summers are actually more dangerous to the elderly and
wildlife than cold winters.

I wasn't aware of any studies that show hot summers are more harmful
to
our
wildlife than cold winters?

The summer of 2006 saw record numbers of insects including
butterflies,
dragonflies, ladybirds, hoverflies and moths which thrive in the hot
conditions, many of these insects prey on pests such as aphids .
This
abundance of insects all provides extra food for small mammals and
birds
which in-turn provides food for their predators.

Nick I carefully said *very* hot summers. Look at some of the IPCC
scenario
work on possible effects of climate change on our flora and fauna.
Frequent
very hot summers as in 2003 would be devastating for many UK wildlife
species. I have seen programmes about it and one or two reports but I
have
no refs to hand.
