However, Positive Weather Solutions are and they have stated that June will be fine and warm; July will start unsettled, but will then be dry and warm; and for August they are anticipating unbroken sunshine and record high temperatures for the UK in 2010.
Whether this is going to happen, who knows, but this firm correctly forecast last years damp summer, “the 2009 white Christmas” and the “big freeze” for early 2010. They are also stating that this summer could beat 1976’s record average of 17.8°C (64°F) thanks to a combination of the El Nino weather pattern and Atlantic jet stream.
