Boris Johnson more in his previous incarnation as a humourist than as Mayor of London, and certainly not as climatologist.
It has certainly been totally crap ever since April (we did have summer, it was in March) . Today is typical, temperature a miserable 16 deg C (heating on again this evening) and pouring with rain. Little ice Age apart, it may be all the fault of you Yanks again, the high pressure over the eastern US which provided such a heatwave sent the jet stream up to Greenland, where is bounced back down from the Arctic High, and overshot - it' is way too far south for July, over England, France and northern Germany. Conversely there has been no rain in normally sodden northern Scotland and Norway, although they have has unseasonal cold under sunny skies.
Some signs that the Jet stream may move north by the end of the month, this weather is getting depressing (although still better than 40 degree heat)

Looking forward to viewing the Games.

There was a string of thunderclouds that stretched from Southwest Texas to New York City the other day.

One heck of a storm heading home the other day. Picture taken on I-65 heading south. Just south of Lafayette Indiana.

Brings back memories of the storms I used to see rolling in across the prairie when I lived in the Midwest.

A rare "Grand Passage" of waterfowl is occurring right now in the central states. Pull up Doppler radar and look on the west side of the front. An amazing scenario. I bet the air traffic controllers are having a really bad night!

A rare big snow in Tokyo.
Monday was Coming of Age Day national holiday.
For once, those furs on the kimonos made sense.

In the spirit of a 2 mile diameter tornado ravaging Oklahoma. I bring you:

Everything may be bigger in America, but it's pound for pound more deadly in Australia.
