Max of 17 after a low of 11, generally cloudy.

Yes, this has been a month of dull and boring consistent mediocrity, in my location and most others the max temp has never been more than 3-4 degrees above the average max. Even in an average month there are usually a period of 4-5 days at 4-8 degrees above the average max. Even in the below average June just gone places got into the 30's compared with the long term (30-yr) avg. max of 18-20°C (albeit on one day). July was just dull and boring. UK weather at its most tedious. And there were plenty of considerably cold days at least here. I don't call a high of 13°C (on 18th) mild, let alone warm. It's down right cold. Oh well, roll on August. It will be the warmest month of the summer and even see some southerly winds which could give spells of temperatures of 25-35°C.

Oh? You mean my head aches when it's cold? Yes it does. But my hat helps to take care of that, so it's not like I have a headache all the time.

Totally overcast and not even reached 15°C here so the hat and coat have come out today again. Nothing more ridiculous than needing that in summer but there we are, when it's cold it's cold.

It is not too much to expect one summer month with above average sun and temperatures and below average rainfall, after at least 8 July and Augusts with all the opposite.

Sometimes, the truth is funny.

Correction. I actually had 11.6 hours of sun.

A mild and pleasant day. Low of 9°C at 05:36 High of 22°C at 13:41 No rain, and no sign of this rain supposedly happening tonight either. 10 hours of the shiny stuff.

It's the coolest since 2007 here, and also wet as the last 4 have been thanks to a dreadful 3 inch soaker mid month. Not as cloudy as last year, but not as warm either. No warm spells as 2008, 2009 and 2010 all achieved.

Up to 22 degrees here, could see 24 today I think.

20°C after a low of 9°C, probably will reach 24 or so today.

A much above average 104mm of rain here, some 4.1", the fifth wet July in a row.

It'll all turn out alright in the end. Just have faith! In my forecast for a warmer August, that is. It doesn't all have to be glaringly obvious that warmth is coming this soon. But it will surely develop into the 2nd week of August.

^^Blimey, apart from that old one on the left, they sure do like ugly buildings in Liverpool.

Today's stats: Low, 12°C, 05:47 High, 18°C, 13:49 No rain, 1.75 hours sunshine.
