heres my extreme long range seasonal forecast:
SUMMER 2011
after a dull start, it may well continue to be dull or it might get better. it depends on the weather really. if it does get better, we could see some hot sunny weather, great for barbecues and outdoor activities. if it doesn't, then it won't be so good for barbecues or outdoor activities.
temperatures should range somewhere between below average and above average, but will be well above the seasonal average for winter, hopefully.
rainfall amounts are unclear at this time, and will very much depend on how much it rains.
AUTUMN 2011
after a dull start, it will probably stay dull, as autumn usually is. but not necessarily. it will probably be rainy and could be very windy at times but we could see some unseasonally good weatherat some point during the autumn as this does happen sometimes. again, this depends on the weather.
temperatures should range between below normal and above normal and possibly normal
we are more confident about rainfall during this period as it will definitely rain at some point
WINTER 2011/2012
if the scientists are to be believed, we could be in for a very harsh winter. if they are not then we won't. we do know that this winter will be very cold compared to the average summer and that snow will be a common sight on the top of the scottish mountains and siberia
temperatures will be well below the average for florida
rainfall will definately amount to something and we are confident that any rain will be wet
SUMMARY : Shades of 76 or any other year which matches the weather at any given time. but whatever the weather, enjoy it, because we'll all be dead by the end of next year, according to the mayans, or a supervolcano, or something, or not....
