15th June. Strong winds over Britain - Heat in Greece.

The 15th of June 2007 saw winds streaming across the Atlantic bringing heavy rain to parts of Spain before turning sharply northwards to bring significant showers to the British Isles. Cool for the time of year, with temperatures of no more than 14 celsius, this was contrasted by Greece in the Mediterranean with around 34 centigrade.

But surely this latter was the result of global warming as reported on Greek state run TV ERT. Well no actually!! Simply the result of winds coming off the deserts of North Africa. Hardly a mystery when you really bother to look.
