Whatever happened to April showers this year ? In Southern England, at least, there hasn't been any significant rain for weeks and the ground is baked like you'd expect in August, not early May. This week's picture feature therefore looks nostalgically at the subject of wet weather. Of course it'll probably be pouring down by the time anyone is reading this, but the remarkable spring of 2007 must add further evidence of man-made climate change. If April was like July, what on earth will August be like ? The classic English summer used to be described as "three hot days and a thunderstorm". We'd better prepare for six hot months and a drought.
