The jet stream.

me and the OH sat eating tea last night at half 8 and it was like being sat down on a october evening,dark dreary and wet...i remember when i was a kid (sounding like dad now) and it was school holidays it seemed like it was light until gone 10 during august

Looks like spring will last 3-5 days next week, then back to this shite!
I've never seen the Jet stream forecast seem to messy.Press the animate tab to see what I mean.
That is unreal. Doesn't seem like there is any connection at all? Some predictions did suggest that increased polar melt would disrupt the gulf stream, if not switch it off all together.

Unfortunately, it is real. It still looks a total mess.
Only to be confirmed when you look at May's monthly forecast on Accuweather. Here is mine:

For someone who loves the summer, the forecast isn't very appealing.

I've heard of increasing amounts of land being left as it is too wet and getting too late to drill. It doesn't bode well at all.
