  1. That is because virtually every run is pointing towards increased mobility through the final third of the month. You can choose to ignore that FACT if you wish, you can choose to focus on the shorter term if you wish (there are other threads for that), but don't just dismiss it for no other reason that not liking what you see. The model thread is full of people like that.
  2. 06 GFS not really that keen, so best ignored eh?
  3. I would not be going overboard with 'proper summer heat' arriving during next week Gavin, especially across the north and west, in fact this is still far from a done deal even for the SE imo.
  4. It will still be warm by Camborne standards in Chicago, 21-22c still looks on the cards despite the Arctic air....so it's all relative and a big t'do about nowt imo. Folk in Shetland would kill for a cold spell like that...
  5. Perhaps another read of my post, this time properly and objectively might help. 'This may well then herald the prospect of.....' does not suggest I am very confident, unless of course it suits your agenda to say it does.
  6. That's a decent score for your neck of the woods NR.
  7. Looks like another week or so of mixed weather, with the best of any heat in the SE, then downhill across the last week or so of July as the Atlantic fires up and eventually smashes thru. This may well then herald the prospect of a mobile westerly pattern for August, with rain or showers at times and near average temps to close out official summer.
  8. FI on the 06 again shows the jet powering up and bowling straight at the UK, so a far more unsettled, Atlantic dominated second half of Summer is far from out the question.
  9. Well Mushy is already writing off the prospect of any decent summer heat in the Model Banter thread and judging by the latest outputs he might have a case....at least where July is concerned anyway. We still have Aug to go of course, which can and often does deliver some very warm/hot spells across the south in particular, but on balance I think we have probably seen the best of things now for Summer 14.
  10. Judging by the latest radar images, the MO's forecast of 'scattered, locally heavy showers' for the SW today looks one of the worst they have put out for some time, especially during the working week. Showers always looked likely to merge into longer spells of rain, with many parts of the region set to get a real soaking this afternoon.....must try harder!!
  11. I sleep 0000-0700 every weekday night like a log, very rarely waking up. The only time my sleep is disturbed is weekends when I have had a few drinks, ironically I might get 8 or 9 hours in but still feel more knackered, so the sleep quality with drink onboard is clearly inferior....or at least it is for me.
  12. Not many fatties in that picture...life might have been tough even austere, but the food they did have was nutritious and above all not full of E numbers, additives and general krap.
  13. So uncomfortable?...19c and humidity c.50%
  14. Indeed, it's been a very decent June here too, but whether bad or good to date it's the future we are interested in. The pattern going forward does not look encouraging imo, with a least the first week of July seeing a dominant Scandi trough affecting the UK, which could very easily extend its influence through week two as well. For those who have endured a poor June, this could mean a first half write off, so it's hard to blame those thinking and saying similar about the whole Summer...even if it does annoy some of the rather more sensitive souls on here.
  15. People have every right to write off Summer whenever they wish. Many wrote last Winter off pre Xmas and they were proven to be absolutely correct. If those kind of comments annoy you then stop reading them, don't tell others what and when to post, that isn't your job.
  16. Been beautiful here of late, maxed out at 25.4c yest which was just perfect, so I am not looking forward to the breakdown one bit....even though my hat fever should become much less of an issue.
  17. A 10/1 shot for most imo, perhaps 5/1 in Kent....so not very.
  18. Went to RNAS Yeovilton last year, having been stationed there years ago, but the Air Day was very poor compared to those of the past. As everything these days it was very commercially driven, with the guy in the beer/cider van saying he'd paid over £1k for the pitch that day. No wonder pints were close to £5 a throw! As for the flying display, again not a patch on the past.
  19. Posted Yesterday, 12:04 Britain set for hottest summer EVER after ''exceptionally mild'' spring weather makes UK warmer than Mediterranean Forecasters are expecting a surprise summer heatwave and bookies have now slashed the odds of temperatures soaring past the 25.6C March record set 1968 in Mepal, Cambs Britain basked in glorious sunshine again yesterday as temperatures topped 19C – hotter than on the Med. And forecasters are saying this summer could be the UK’s hottest ever because of warmer water as far away as the Pacific. Thousands flocked to beaches, beer gardens and parks to lap up “exceptionally mild†spring weather caused by a band of high pressure making its way across Britain. The hottest ­recorded in Britain yesterday was 19.3C (66F) in London’s St James’s Park. That was more than two degrees warmer than in Greece where temperatures reached 17C and six degrees hotter than Turkey where it was just 13C. Bookies have now slashed the odds of temperatures soaring past the 25.6C March record set 1968 in Mepal, Cambs, after the mercury soared well above the 12C average for this time of year. And despite the wettest winter on record in England and Wales, forecasters are now expecting Britain to experience a surprise summer heatwave. Boffins at Justus Liebig University in Giessen, Germany, say there is a 75 per cent chance that this summer will be a scorcher, with Britain set for an El Niño weather pattern, That means waters on the Pacific equator rise higher than usual, ­leading to hotter temperatures here. It is even possible 2003’s record of 38.5C in Faversham, Kent, may fall. Met Office forecaster Tom Morgan confirmed: “It was a lovely warm sunny day in the South.†MeteoGroups’s Andy Ratcliffe added: “It will be dry across the UK, but there could more unsettled weather towards the end of the week in the North West.†And the good news is large parts of the country will still be basking today. In the South and East of England, temperatures are expected to top 18C. But in the North West and Scotland, temperatures will be cooler with a chance of rain. http://www.mirror.co...er-ever-3248404 Led be Herr Jakob Maddenkopf...
  20. Looks like a plan.....but no doubt there will be a butterfly, moth or witchetty grub that needs greater protection.
  21. You really couldn't make it up could you?.... Met an old guy earlier whilst swimming the dog and he said 'Gonna be a dry summer boy, there'll be no rain left in the clouds by then'....frankly I give just as much credance to his theory as I do the Germans!
  22. One thing we know as a absolute certainty is nature always balances itself out, so there will be a significantly drier than average spell to come at some stage...the difficulty as always is knowing exactly when.
  23. Very unlikely I'd suggest due to topograpy. In any event though, these look like being unprecidented times there, as they were in Alaska recently.
