Here in the Uk we are having a cool and wet summer, today will be a max. of 16deg C (61F) and lots of heavy showers. The forcasters say it will remain like this until August, when hopefully we should see some improvement and warm sunshine. Usually most people in southern europe around the Mediterranean woud be thinking "you poor Brits" but I guess that these days many there, and in the southern USA, would be wishing they could have a few days of our weather as a respite from the current heatwaves with temps. in excess of 40C/100F.
