It seems this years summer was only on holiday. It is meant to be the warmest of the four seasons but we have had a series of showers and storms. The only way it has kept it's job description is making the days longer and nights shorter but when people want the night to last to have barbecue it helps if the fire isn't being put out by drizzle.
We were however on a drought warning even though we were also on flood alerts! Summer is traditionally associated with hot dry weather, but this does not occur in all regions. In areas of the tropics and subtropics, the wet season (monsoon) occurs during the summer. This is when rain falls to water the plants and other crops. It is especially favoured in places like India and Thailand where during the rest of the year they hardly have any rain. Once it starts rains for months (usually about three).
In Britain this June the average temperature (so far) was 9 degrees! That is incredibly low and not the best thing for the hopeful British people who are wishing for a hot and dry summer! Lets hope that it perks up for the rest of the year!
