Not as such mary but they are getting excited about possible Polar Low (or maybe its a Polar vortex?) and there are mutterings about a rerun of 2010....

Just had a look at the Weather Without Technology site. He's got his autumn forecast up but I'm not sure I follow it. He seems essentially to be saying autumn will be wet
Well, duh!It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!6 -
No rain here either. Much as I’d like a few more warm days, right now I want it consistently cold so the wasps hurry up and abandon their nest!5

I did start reading his site but he got on my nerves with his self importance....Maybe I read him wrong, I dunno...

Greenbee we’re inundated with wasps too, I don’t think they are nesting in the house though 🤞I think it’s the apple trees drawing them in, well the windfalls
I was reading yesterday that mild temperatures over winter will be more common, and HOT HOT summers more the norm - I really want aircon for the bedroom, I love the heat, but not to sleep in 😩Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

I haven’t seen a wasp this year either. I’ve had a few wasp stings over the years. I got a wasp up my sleeve a few years ago that stung me 5 or 6 times, very painful. I hope I haven’t spoken too soon.5
