just as a point of interest - I was sitting listening to a conversation with a bunch of French from many walks of life a couple of weeks back. The group included farmers, teachers and scientists
every one of them said that there hasn’t been one single month since last October that has been ‘normal’ weather wise
none of them could recall any period like it
one should note things like that IMO
One month here and there is often like that - but 7 months on the trot - ??????
