It seems the reports are wide of the mark
We’ve all been counting down the days until sunny beer gardens and BBQs, but a recent announcement seemed to dash our hopes for summer.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, the Met Office noted the difficulties in predicting long-term weather accurately and said that while a rainy summer is always a possibility, this is not set in stone. "Small events currently over the Atlantic can have potentially significant impacts on our weather in the UK in several days or weeks. Therefore, whilst we can still forecast the general feel of the weather to a relatively high level of accuracy using our ensemble models, it becomes harder to offer local detail to as high a level of accuracy as our shorter-range forecasts.
Currently, the Met Office long-range forecast runs until June 26. It says that early June is likely to see more settled conditions due to the influence of high pressure, before a more uncertain outlook in the second week of the month.
