The Summer just gone has not been notable for anything really apart from the fact that it has been a very cool one.
Temperatures for each of the 3 months are over a degree below what would normally be expected in Ireland.
The last days of August have not improved the trend and September is not looking like causing much of an improvement either.
So what has caused the Summer to be so cool?
Some would say that the number of volcanoes has an affect on it but this is not always true.
The main consensus points to the Southerly point of the Jetstream which has resulted in all the cooler air from the North being dragged over the British Isles instead of warmer air from the Southwest if the Azores High had come over us at all.
Its too far to say it yet but if the long standing Northerly dominance of our weather persists as it has done throughout 2011 we could be in for yet another of those freezing cold Winters.
