I know you were, I am a firm believer, nobody knows what's causing it, but low pressure has become more frequent, as has Atlantic air/stronger jet, high pressure less frequent in winters since approx 2000
Still wondering if our summers have changed? like our winters have, but not so convinced about summers, no real hot spell in Aug since '03,
too early to tell, maybe but who knows, are we now in the modern summer, low pressure all the time
