Quote - The gulf stream is so small and so far away to have any effect on the South hemisphere.

Perhaps... maybe depends on the effect of those butterflies I've heard about them...

Anyway... this year, it would seem the effect of that gulf stream diversion here in Scotland, and I guess the rest of the UK and onto the continent etc, perhaps, as well... is that its a lot soggier than usual.

And that's saying something.

We also had a summer of 30 degrees heat in March, instead of now, this year.

Although it's not bad currently, I have to say, in time for the start of the Edinburgh Festival.

Personally, I wouldn't be too surprised if the snow comes along later this month :rolleyes:
