SqueakheartLW looking at previous La Nina and how they developed from an El Nino im 90% sure we are heading into a La Nina..the set up and the cooling is very similar to previous transitions

sundog calling BS on the statement on sea surface temps hitting "shocking new high" average global sea surface temperatures are exactly the same as they were a year ago in April 2023 as they are now at 21.1c in 2016 they were 21.0c (last el nino).

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

getting light on my early morning walks now..dawn is just breaking on the horizon when i leave the house and its almost fully light by the time i get home..this time next week i pass the point of sunrise before i get back.

i wasn't in the uk In those years ..but sounds like a similar which was better May 1989 or May 1990 both were a couple of bobby dazzlers

MP-R IMO 1995 was better than 1976 ..im just old enough to remember 1976 but 1995 was the best summer of my lifetime

fun fact if im still here the next NA total eclipse happens right here in Edmonton in August 2044..eaxctly 45 years after the UK solar eclipse of August 1999

Weather-history i remember the total eclipse here in 1999 ..got totality where i was...sun came out at just the right time ..would i travel half way round the world to see another..nope ..i mean it was alright but is almost forgotten now.

Methuselah i was still in short trousers at Primary school (infants as it was back then)

i don't remember this at all..i remember the heavy snows of the previous months but this seems to have completely passed me by

heavy snow again this morning ..now i remember why April is one of my least fav months of the year here

Summer8906 love early sunrises i get up at 5am everyday...cant wait for the best time of the year and the best time of the day

In Absence of True Seasons i want to know who are all these scientist and experts that are always in the headlines...and they are always purveyors of doom and gloom ...still waiting to see the headline everything is alright or nothing sheet will happen next week scientific experts claim.

BlueSkies_do_I_see i was at school in 1983...July 83 was very similar to August 95..an easterly month from memory so was a dry heat

LetItSnow! i could not find a January here that even got close to -5c as a mean average..this year in what has been one of the mildest winters on record...the January mean was -15c

i was only in the UK temporarily between 2014-16 ..so best was 2016 followed by 2015 and 2014 last

1983 fits the bill for me ..wet spring followed by a hot summer..somebody mentioned 1995..wet winter but in my location spring was very dry

B87 what about Northolt that's still open?

yesterday was lovely wall to wall sunshine 15c got up this morning and its snowing and -5c..."my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined"

BlueSkies_do_I_see if the EU is like Canada then they only ever log you entering the country but never when you leave ..so they would have no idea if you had left or not after 90 days..and honestly i highly doubt officials would spend anytime trying to track you down

ANYWEATHER not really..in terms of technology history tells us the furture..it will happen..that's the problem with any future predictions we look at it through todays eyes and todays knowledge..im saying people alive 200 years ago would have no concept of todays world ..not a single person/scientist/politician could envisage the world we take for granted today...therefore we cant envisage the world in the future where our knowledge will be outdated and obsolete and the world we know today will be long dead and buried.

Sky Full two things that will happen in the next two centuries (assuming no nuclear conflict) is the world population will collapse to more sustainable levels... by 2200 i expect the population to be half what it is today if not even lower...secondly technology will have advanced at such a pace that we cant even imagine today where it will be or what it will look like...climate change will be a thing of the past by that point..everything we use and see in our everyday lives today will be gone...we will be as far removed from todays world as we are removed from the dark ages.

Sun Chaserno snow..i witnessed a cold front at ground level literally roll up the cloud mist and fog into glorious sunshine..you could walk and follow the back of the cloud and mist on the ground up the hill (this was in Southway btw) as it was pushed away..i have never seen such a clear definition between a warm and cold sector right on the ground.

Sun Chaser can confirm Exeter is way sunnier than Plymouth ..often it would be misty murky and drizzly in Plymouth but once i got the other side of the moors east Devon and Exeter would be dry bright and sunny ..actually did witness a fabulous weather phenomena in Plymouth in 1996

WYorksWeather your missing the point..taxation and banning stuff doesn't work and using seat belts as an example isnt the same either..using your argument we should ban smoking and alcohol because in terms of related deaths and anti social benefits they are way higher than driving a car..prohibition didn't work because people will still find ways around it..increasing tax wont work either as people will still find ways to pay for it ..you cant force people into compliance by beating them round the head with rules and financial penalties because people will and do rebel ..then you will have the GP really push back on climate measures in a huge way...look what happened with the poll tax riots and the non payment that occurred
