For the UK and much of northern Europe rainfall is likely to be near or below average. A repeat of the wet summers of 2007 and 2008 is unlikely.

Oh rats.

whoop!

i like mud and water

I’m happy to accept the Met Offices’ predictions. It’s the internet experts and their countless theories that I tend to steer clear of.

Yeah, temperatures will be kept above average by the heat coming from all the feverish people with swine flu…

They were about right with the winter one when looked at in those very large definations.

I wouldnt believe the met office, I track their website info against some others that supposedly use their data to predict, in order to plan my kitesurfing (I worry about wind direction and strength, and rain to some extent) and I dont think I’ve ever yet been impressed with a met office prediction in comparison with the other sites such as xcweather and windguru. However ive never looked at long-term predictions.

where di u kitesurf CK. im over on the east coast, dundee.

Sitting at home with a recovering broken collarbone after a vicious attack from my 9m vegas. 😀

Delusional Met Office – Give ’em their cards

Anything could happen!

macmclaren – originally a combination of Weston Super Mare and Ainsdale, but when I finally get back out it’ll be the Troon area, or maybe some inland lochs if I can find some without significant hill/tree boreders!

Broken collar bone – ouch! What were you trying to pull off to get that? And why is it always so much more fun to do stuff in the shallows where it hurts most when you screw it up?!

funny thing i wasnt trying anything crazy. It was a right gusty day and i took my eye off the kite to adjust a footstrap. dippped it down by mistake and wham, i was broken.

couple of weeks and ill be out again. cant wait

Guaranteed sunshine August 22nd/23rd of August!!!

What are you doing that weekend then? It would be great to have some kind of bike event preferably with bike jousting, a lake jump and a beer festival.

Live music would be nice as long as U2 don’t turn up.

Any suggestions?

WCA, what happens in august then (apart from my birthday on the 23rd! :mrgreen:)??

I am not sure if you have heard, there are rumours of a mountain bike event in the New Forest…

Big Bike b…

Oh, what is it called?
