2008 is going to be a warm one

Warm weather is coming to the Northern Hemisphere, and it’s not just because of spring’s arrival. After a very chilly start to the year, including record temperatures and snowfalls in many areas, the temperature is predicted to go up… and up…

According to an article in Reuters, once the cooling trend known as La Nina eases off in the next couple of months, 2008 might turn out to be “in the top 10 warmest years.”

What does that mean for travellers? If 2007’s summer weather was any indication, dangerous heat waves could be on the way. For more information about protecting yourself during extreme temperatures, see Keep cool during your summer travels.
