Forecasters are predicting a summer of persistent rain and wet weather for Brits, as global warming continues to result in more erratic conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Met Office has briefed the Government and transport chiefs to prepare for at least 50 days of rain in the next three months, leading to fears over further flooding in the UK and dashing any hopes of a warm British summer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last summer saw 40 days of rain, but the Met Office expects this summer to be even worse, jeopardising popular summer events such as Wimbledon, Trooping of the Colour, Royal Ascot and many festivals including Glastonbury.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To count as a rainy day, there must be a minimum of 2.5mm of rain in a 24 hour period.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK\u2019s wettest ever summer in 1912 saw rainfall on more than 55 days<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the event the summer was drier than average:<\/p>\n\n\n

As I noted at the time, the Met Office\u2019s warning did not even tally with their own 3-Month Outlook, and was clearly designed as pure spin intended to scare the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
