After such a harsh and long winter the media are spreading some rumours that the 2010 summer will be a memorable one. At least for the northern countries, that means less rain and warmer than usually weather while that may not be so god news for the Mediterranean ones where higher temperatures won’t be that pleasant. Another thing to bear in mind about this summer is that during World Cup summers people tend to enjoy more staying at home and they travel less. It is definitely at big social event rather than a pure sports one, given the influence it has on so many people’s daily life around the world.
Another reason that increases the prospects for the forthcoming summer is the world cup in South Africa. All football fans are definitely excited about that, which is going to be the first world cup ever to be hosted on African soil. Who doesn’t really like the combination of a hot summer with a lot of football and social gatherings?. After such a hard and intense winter all Europeans deserve a great summer, especially as recession doesn’t seem to get out of the way yet.
The most common picture from the summer includes a lot of friends taking their places around the Telly in the balcony, trying to listen to the commentator’s voice coming out of those. Kids will be running around playing with their summer toys, say a remote control helicopter,while at the same time their parents will be enjoying a cold glass of beer straight out of the beer dispenser. And if there are some people around that do not enjoy watching football that much, you should expect some great barbecue too.
Therefore we just need to wait until we find out whether the scientists are right in their forecasts or not. Fingers crosses, the summer 2010 will be one to remember!
