14.5c and 110mm I've a feeling autumn is going to make up for summer rainfall wise!

16.1c and 99mm

17.0c and 44mm please.

A very risky 14.4 and 77mm.

11.9c and 77mm

7.7c and 55mm please.

7.0c and 62mm please.

Hard to predict. I'll say 4.1c and 66mm

4.7 and 88mm please.

I'm always dubious of TV weather broadcasts, but where is this mild weather come from? Is this official or just them using some dodgy model? I know living down here in the South West we're out the running, but there's got to be a good chance the Midlands has a shot.

3.1c and 66mm

7.9c and 103mm

10.0 and 88mm please

OMG - I actually guessed correctly!

13.8c and 76mm please.

15.8c and 88mm

16.9c and 77mm - the second half will be a good spell!

13.7c and 77mm please.

So what are the long-rangers leaning to? Average, hot or poor? I'm still going to put my neck on the line for a poor summer.

Yes Spring has been interesting if disappointing with the lack of any real warmth and the models aren't that hopeful to a point either. Summer could go either way and there have been years heat has come out of nowhere reading information such as 1975 (hot July and August), 1983 (one of the hottest July's ever and a top 10 August), 1991, 2013 (July and even August to a point) and of course 2018 (even though May was hot) and 2019 (late June onwards). It does risk being a disaster and whilst 2011 had a warm spring (I remember April being warm), the summer was a flop save a few warm days. You also had 2007 (had a hot April and the Rhianna summer), 2008 (warm days in May and June was decent but rest vile) and 2012 (horror show but a hot end to May). There's also the cool ones of 1985 and 1986...the latter holds one of the coldest August's ever. Personally I am verging into the summer being a pile of pants camp. It's been a good nine years since a woeful summer and I think 2021 may be the one. I'll probably be wrong but let's see.....

12.3c and 66mm please.

8.8c and 77mm

5.4c and 66mm

I'm starting to think I've done a tactical guess.

All I'll say if them uppers did come off - wow! Didn't February 1986 have that as well?
