[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 356999, member: 818"] A slightly more obvious reason for a sudden shift in the UK's climate around the late 90s is that the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) switched from its cold phase to its warm phase at exactly that time: [url]http://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/640px-atlantic_multidecadal_oscillation.png[/url] You can see from that graph that it was almost entirely cold from about 1960 to about 1996/7 when it switched violently to warm. Since then we have a series of excessively wet seasons, often summers. I don't think its a coincidence. The warm phases seem to last from 10-20 years, so I would expect the current style of weather to continue more often than not until c.2020, when one could perhaps expect a cold phase to begin again, or at least to have more neutral values.
