it is a wide-spread rumour in the media that the 2010 summer will be a great one. All though that sounds as good news for the north European countries where tjeir populations complain of cold weather and lots of rain, reality for the Southern European countries is totally different as the temperature can rise well enough above 40 Celsius centigrades. 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. All football fans are definitely excited about that, which is going to be the first world cup ever to be hosted on African soil. So, the combination of a really warm summer without much rain and lots of sport activity is enough to bring great excitement. 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.
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. The children will be around too, running and making lots of noise while they will be playing with those great outdoor toys, such as a rc helicopter, while the adults will be serving cold beer out of a beer keg chiller. It’s also good to include people who don’t like sports so much so someone can be in charge of the barbecue.
Will the scientists be right in their forecasts this time or is it going to be another huge disappointment?. Until then let’s keep our fingers crossed!
