I reckon it’s touch and go whether it will be a hot summer. El Niño is strengthening, which points to hot summers and droughts. Remember them a few years ago. Of course the Joker in the pack is the jet stream. If it is as far south as it was last year, then it’s going to be another miserable summer.

However, anything is better than last summer, even the one before - and that was pretty damp.

Watch out for mildew and white fly. They love melons.
