  1. Nick L at this point I don’t care about how interesting the weather is, I’m just sick of the rain. I will gladly take a big fat anticyclone with North Sea murk over the current pattern.
  2. If this current wet pattern is the new normal for the British climate then sign me up for a one-way plane ticket to just about anywhere else. It's not like our climate was exactly amazing to begin with, but what we've had to contend with since July is just awful beyond belief.
  3. Summer8906 People in the Nordic countries also say 'Europe' when referring to the continent. It's not a uniquely British thing. Most people from Sweden or Norway will have to travel by air or sea to get to the rest of Europe, so it seems more distant and far away. Anyway, at least most of Europe is currently unsettled right now and not just the UK. Madrid is looking uncharacteristically grim. Not many good holiday destinations to choose from right now!
  4. One of the best summer months of my lifetime. Truly a classic. We had 5 consecutive days above 30C here, combined with low humidity and clear blue skies.
  5. CryoraptorA303 Aye, it was similar here - of the 62mm that fell in January, 43mm fell on just three days. From the 3rd to the 28th we had very little rain. Jan certainly wasn't a terrible month by any means.
  6. baddie January was still slightly wetter than average here. Not a washout like December or November though.
  7. Scorcher yeah it's definitely rural, but with the lack of any official weather station in Leeds proper, I'm happy to refer to Bramham as the (un)official Leeds weather station. The Met Office need to pull their finger out and open some weather stations in urban areas.
  8. March is looking set to be the 9th consecutive wetter than average month here. Absolutely ridiculous. Although August was only wetter than average by like 2mm lol.
  9. Heard the first blackbird singing today under the pleasant March sunshine. Always a good sign of spring having arrived.
  10. 11C and sunny, a fine early spring day
  11. A lovely day... frosty morning with mist, nice sunny afternoon with light winds. Went from a low of -2C this morning to a high of 9C right now. Starting to get those larger diurnal ranges now.
  12. Summer8906 The south coast is definitely pretty wet between November and January, but it's sunnier for sure year-round but especially in the summer. Bognor Regis for example gets 1,918 hours of sun a year on average while London gets 1,674 hours. That's almost as big as the difference between London and Glasgow.
  13. SunSean it was a mostly sunny day here, not bad at all. Monday looking sunny as well. The forecast for here kinda made me laugh though. Every single day with a high of 10C. I don't think I've ever seen such a ridiculously stable and boring forecast - but at least it's dry. Seems like we're finally entering the period of the year when the Atlantic goes quiet.
  14. Wade We got off pretty lightly here all things considered. Only a bit wetter than average.
  15. raz.org.rain eh, that's far too simplistic. London certainly doesn't have colder winters than Liverpool or Glasgow for example, and summers in Leeds/Hull/Sheffield etc are warmer than summers in Plymouth or Swansea (in terms of average highs at least). The average high at my nearest station is 21.4C in July, which is on par with Birmingham even though we're about 100 miles further north. Hull has average highs of 22.0C in July which is higher than Bristol - I bet very few people would expect that to be the case but it shows how being further east in the UK is often better than simply being further south (being further south and east is obviously the best bet). You could argue that the SE quadrant of the UK is more continental though, especially East Anglia and Kent (though more historically than currently as Kent in particular has become pretty rubbish for snow since the 90s & the decline of midwinter easterlies).
