It has started already – even Paul Simons, the Times weatherman, said we might hope for sun next Sunday as a guarantee of a change to sunshine rather than rain.
All because of the old belief that the weather on St Swithin’s day fixes the pattern for the next 40 days.
Me, I’m hoping for the exact opposite. As one who has had good reason to mark the weather on St Swithin’s day for well over 60 years, I know that the old saw just does not work.
