The Met Office have confessed to making a mess of the seasonal forecast for summer. Again. But they're saying they didn't get it all wrong because we've had a week and a half of hot weather during Wimbledon. Uh huh.
Y'know, I bought a pair of prescription sunglasses because of their forecast. I figured since it was going to be such a nice summer and I was going to be able to sit outside, I'd want to be able to read and compute and do other things that required my eyes to actually focus. Without this great summer, I wouldn't need them until next March (going away then to somewhere that actually does have a summer) so could have saved up instead... Gits.
