The following two winters (ie June to September) were the wettest I can ever remember, with many people left homeless after flooding. So far this winter, it has rained almost continually.

thanks for all of your answers. Linlyons, when I used the word winter to describe the months between May and September, I was using that classically British tool of sarcasm - although in actual fact it is becoming more and more accurate.Edit 1: Got it!
%26quot;Peering into the future is a tricky business, especially for something as volatile as weather and climate. But scientists know a lot about how events will unfold. They use giant computer programs.........%26quot;

however, you might keep in mind that warmer winters can be wetter.
the warmer air is, the more water it can hold, and thus there can be more snow and/or rain.
that is, unless the prevailing wind is driving moisture laden air away from you, in which case, no matter how much water is in the air, it%26#039;s not going to rain on you.
your comment, %26quot;The following two winters (ie June to September)%26quot; is interesting. as i recall, the article talked about GB, where winter is Dec-Mar. however, you seem to be talking about some place like Australia. however, Australia has been in the news related to global warming recently.

I am not seeing the phrases you put in quotes, and I am not seeing any concrete predictions like the ones you seem to remember.
