Summer's Not Through Just Yet

The Beach Boys, through their song All Summer Long, gave us a tick list of things to do in the summer months and in the 'Yep' column is sitting in my car outside my house, spilling coke all over my blouse (it was Sprite but close enough), i wore T-Shirts, Cut Offs and a pair of thongs (the US version of flip-flops, a pair of UK thongs would be very uncomfortable)  and i did play miniature golf and rode a Honda although riding a horse did evade me but as the rain-clouds roll in, the much heard cry is that's the end of Summer
but whoa there fella, mid August to the end of the month is generally always stormy, it's called a weather singularity.
A singularity is a weather phenomenon likely to occur with reasonable regularity around an approximate calendar date and the occurrence of storms from August 16th until 30 August is 67% so if it wasn't stormy now then it would be more surprising.
The good news for those strange people who actually like a bit of Sun and heat is that although officially Summer ends August 31, the season isn't finished with us yet as between 1 September and 17 September, with 87% probability so pretty much nailed on, Mother Nature flings some high pressure across the UK bringing warm, fine days in what is sometimes incorrectly referred to as an Indian Summer but it isn't, they are the warm, fine days in October or November so you can give a Chinese Burn to anyone who uses that phrase inappropriately.
What that means is that it gives us one more chance to do the things we didn't do during proper Summer which for me means finding a horse to complete the Beach Boys checklist so i can officially say that i had fun all Summer Long.
