From April 1980

Yuk Yuk and more Yuk what a depressing outlook more rain and low temperatures.

Had Worse taking big coat to London tomorrow.. only meant to be 14/15c… cold

Wet.......again!

Weather-history from memory the summer that followed wasn’t anything special though. I certainly remember a lot of local cricket matches being effected by rain with a few games being abandoned without a ball being bowled.

At least it’s been a bad spring for most of Europe, not just us. Look at this yucky Munich forecast for example

Spectromat Sounds like an early call of a stuck summer pattern. 5-wave patterns can be stubborn to shift in summer, and just need to be wary here of us getting stuck in a trough if the high pressure is too far to the west when the music stops, as it were! The models are currently very keen now for the high pressure over the next week to move west towards the end of the month. Nothing warm in the outlook whatsoever at the moment, a welcome break from the rain over the next week or so, but it could all head wrong again after that. Ho hum!

iand61 I would bite ones arm off for a winter 2020/21 repeat! I remember the morning the day the pub's reopened outside, there was a little snow where I was at the time, but most of all was sitting outside that evening at the pub, which was a challenge to say the least! The patio heaters were not up to the job!

In Absence of True Seasons I expect the same as last year. This is the new normal.

MP-R August 1995 i would describe as very much in the vein of a typical July/August i get here on the Canadian prairies..dry warm/hot with low humidity and enough of a breeze to make it almost perfection in terms of summer weather
