You've probably been thinking the same thing as I have over this past week or so. Why is the weather so great? After all, it's late summer AND this is England! Norfolk may well be one of the driest areas of the country but we usually do get much more varied weather activity than the present conditions at this period each year. So what's actually happening? The reason why temperatures have been similar to those in Southern Spain, is mainly due to a high pressure weather system which is sitting over continental Europe. It will drag off and will pull warm air from Southern Europe. This particular event is usually called an 'Indian Summer' and according to the MET office, the first since 1985. Having said 'Indian Summer', was it really the Indians that coined the phrase. There have been many suggestions; America is a particularly good case if it wasn't India. The following link to this article may be interesting. Let's hope it continues!
