Just noticed this thread, thought I'd put my non-technical educated guessing method to use! Well this summer seems a bit 89ish so far to me, very good May, June, July but August not matching. The other thing that springs to mind (not checked the stats) but a lot of people say following 76's summer it was very wet. The winter of 89/90 was extremely wet and stormy as well so I'm going for a wet Autumn/Winter!
