MET OFFICE FORECASTS A HOT DRY SUMMER!

Yes, get out the Bar-B and the sun lounger and be ready to water the garden, in case there isn't a hose-pipe ban. Here is the good news for the UK from the Met Office, though unlike their forecast for the next century (where they claim 90% certainty), this forecast is only 50% likely to be right. There is a 30% chance it will be average and even a 20% chance it will be cool or wet. Now that's more like the real odds for a weather forecast - you could do almost as well using a bit of seaweed and a fircone!

Mind you this is the third forecast in a row of a hot dry summer. Maybe they are repeating the same forecast in the hope that eventually they will be right. See this report on Watts up with that.
