Good thread.

Being involved in cricket 7 days a week the weather has a huge influence on my activity and mood...

It's driving me mad. It's perfect weather for spinners ... and I'm out of action for eight weeks with a damaged finger!

Yep. The outlook is STILL primarily dry and generally above average temps into July, so I'm sure things can change.

Meanwhile, here in the Serengeti (aka Saffron Walden), the forecast is for unbroken sunshine and minimum 26 - 28 degrees for the next 2 weeks at least...
