After such a harsh and long winter the media are spreading some rumours that the 2010 summer will be a memorable one. For the north European countries that could be translated into less rain, higher temperatures although the countries of southern Europe should expect inferno like temperatures. 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, without any doubt, a very big social event and not just a sport one, considering the huge amount of people that will be following it.
The world cup by itself is another reason why the anticipation about the 2010 summer are so high. It is going to be the first World Cup taking place in Africa and many sports and non-sports related people are expecting it with great anticipation. Who doesn’t really like the combination of a hot summer with a lot of football and social gatherings?. After that harsh and long cold winter all Europeans that were affected by recession are really hoping for a great summer.
A typical summer scene would include lots of friends taking their places around the TV in the garden, being absorbed by the commentator’s voice that will be coming out of those portable speakers. The young ones will be all around the place, chasing each other or just playing with their outdoor toys, such as a rc helicopter, while the adults will be serving cold beer out of a beer dispenser. It’s also good to include people who don’t like sports so much so someone can be in charge of the barbecue.
Therefore we just need to wait until we find out whether the scientists are right in their forecasts or not. So lets hope everything will be as well as we expect it!
