The UK summer in 2021 was warmer and dryer than normal but when looked at using principal components, the summer cannot be defined as a good one. I am not expecting 2022 to be a good one either!

The 2019 spring was consistent with the step change in the autumnal climate that took place in the 1990s but was unremarkable otherwise
