Yes TWS, some parts of the UK will be twenty degrees warmer this year compared to last, quite remarkable really all things considered!!
I have a sneaking suspicion that this winter won't deliver much more than we've already experienced, which will be a bitter pill to swallow after the last two winters.
Never mind, what will be will be. I still think we should count ourselves lucky to live in an area of the world which delivers all weather types in varying quantities. The weather can't and won't please the Brits all of the time.
