The meteorologists predicted the hottest summer on record. We waited and waited and waited and up to now the hot summer still did not arrive. After we all realised we will get a wet and unfriendly July, the weather men told us that the weather will become bad, "but we will get tropical weather soon", they promised. So, the "sun hungry" Irish were then longingly waiting for the tropical weather to arrive, but no sign of a sun ray. Now, as July is over and we see no changes, the clever meteorologists came to the conclusion that we won't have a proper summer this year, it is actually the coldest since decades. It is as if last years winter is continuing until the next one marches into the land. People who are yearning for a bit of sunshine and warmth have to go to Spain or Greece or other Southern countries, if they can afford it.
