      Hi Woo! You are right, and I actually wouldn't mind some more rain during the summer - it usually gets too dry here in Northern Spain. It just seems to be getting more and more difficult to predict what the weather is going to do. :scratch:

        These are very small changes compared to what has happened in history, but really I wouldn't worry.. no one really knows.. it's just a quiet day at the office for them I think.

        I'm going to be so bold as to say that with a 99.99% probability, in the next 10 years there will be:

        * More rain
        * More hail
        * More thunder
        * More snow
        * More wind
        * More sunshine
        * More of any other type of weather I've forgot to mention.

        Call me a cynic, but an idea struck me. Not so long ago the government was in the firing line for trying to withdraw subsidies for solar energy. The big water companies are regularly in the firing line for failing to make adequate provisions for drought.

        Lets say they get together to work out how to get everyone to shut up. Well if its going to rain all the time then there's no point spending tax payers money on solar energy, and there's no point wasting money on mending our water infrastructure.
