We are a maritime island nation and as such we get maritime island weather, its called British weather here. Why we all hanker after mediteranean summers I don't know, on the odd occasion that we do get such a summer thats the aberration, not the type weather we are getting now which is our natural British summer weather.
The weather is just weather, nothing I can do about it and if I want an accurate forecast I look out the window.

Er, no. The longest day (in the UK) is the last Sunday in October.

Re: Summer Solstice
Not completely true! For anyone living between the equator and 66 deg 33 min N, that is correct. Above the Arctic circle they start to get 24 hours of sunlight for one or more days of the year with 183 days at the North Pole! Svalbard - the most northerly settlement in Europe has around 125 days! And South of the equator it is shifted by 1/2 year!christel wrote:Ok, 21st is the longest daylight hour day then.
