Heatwave

[coalescent]

In the Times today:

The heatwave is now forecast to last for another two weeks and the summer of 2003 is set to outsizzle even 1976. Most remarkably of all, the summer of '03 may also be the most agreeable. Unlike 1976, there are no wild fires, no water rationing and no need for a 'Minister of Drought'. While temperatures have soared, the rain has come in the right quantities at the right time - often at night.

I just think it's interesting that for once we're seeing a climactic extreme that is (if this is not a contradiction in terms) stable and balanced. And on a shallow level, I'm glad it's still forecast to be good weather when I'm down at the Eden Project.
