England records its wettest ever July despite the 'heatwave' and more rain is on the way

Whilst we all enjoy this wet summer, I would like to remind you that in 2006 The Guardian reported that:
'Scientists know a lot about how events will unfold...which means that whatever we do, our climate destiny is fixed for the next few decades... Rainfall will decline in the summer and the increased deluges in winter will struggle to replenish thirsty reservoirs because much of the water will run off the baked ground.'


'Scientists know... climate destiny is fixed... Rainfall will decline in the summer...'
Really? Would these knowledgeable scientists care to comment on the wet summers of 2007, 2008, 2009 & so far 2010?


For more on this subject thake a look here and at the various sites I link to in my 'Take a look at these, I do' section in my right column.

I'll grant you wet summers in 2007, 2008 and 2009, but not this year (at least in the East Midlands). There were a couple of weeks of showery weather earlier this month, but coolish cloudy weather since. Lots of showers forecast which never arrived. Hardly a barbecue summer again though.....
