  1. The UK has what I would term merging seasons..where there is a slow transition from one season to another..i love Canadian seasons where they crash from one to another in matter of days.
  2. Interesting I looked at the almanac for Exeter and indeed it has only reached 25c once which was 30th June..where I live in West London on the same almanac it has reached 25c or more 22 times this summer so seems the warmth is very much localised to the south east.
  3. a strong one like I said at the start of my summary...plus it only my opinion on the forth coming winter...you never know I might be wrong.
  4. my thoughts are a strong el nino promotes mild and wet winters in the UK with a strong Icelandic and possible enhancement of a euro high..so I would hedge my bets in this direction at the moment
  5. Looks set fair after Friday right to the end of the month...for me the GFS is almost perfection for this time of the year..dry and warm with low humidity
  6. In North America seasons are measured astronomically even with regard to weather...so winter for example doesn't start until Dec 22nd..which I found a bit bizarre esp in Canada when it often starts snowing mid October. Their seasons do much better fit the pattern of the 1st of Sept, 1st Dec, 1st Mar and 1st Jun than ours..ours are more suited to the astronomical calendar me thinks
  7. I think peoples expectations of winter and summer conditions have become so skewed in recent years that any thing other than cold and snow in winter and heat and storms in summer is seen as abnormal disgusting weather. Lets be honest changeable and mild is normal for this country all year round. This summer for me has been near perfect..very dry often sunny and relatively warm with low humidity and long may it continue.
  8. IMO I think autumn will start relatively dry and warm..but gradually decend into a wet fest..with dry interludes few and far between.
  9. I wonder if people who live in Arid climates have a similar thread about their rain addiction?
  10. 27c here now might just squeeze 28c.
  11. Had lots of thunder in west London more than last year that's for sure.. also hasn't been unsettled at all apart from the rain on Friday and Sunday just gone it has been remarkably dry.
  12. wont be long until the nights noticeably start to draw in.... another week - 10 days?
  13. I still haven't turned the heating on since I came back to the UK which was April 2014..so that's 15 months and counting.
  14. The summers of the mid 1980s were awful..the last 3 winters of the decade were very mild indeed...closest to text book seasons would be 1983.
  15. Computer says no..they don't make things up..unlike some on here
  16. I have had in excess of 20 days maybe more 25c or above..not had a temperature below 20c since mid June..so far this summer has been near perfect..not too hot not too cool very little in the way of rain lots of sunshine and lots of good nights for sleeping.
  17. From memory 87-88 was the turning point from winters of 60-80s to the so called even larger teapot phase so much touted on here in the 2000s..there was a predicted very cold easterly outbreak forecast in the early part of Dec 87..which never quite materialised and from there on in the winter developed into a mild relatively snowless one and set the scene for the next 3/4 years weather..mild/very mild winters followed by relatively hot summers.(summer 88 excluded).
  18. I predict this could be the coldest chart of the 2015/16 Autumn/winter season
  19. There was snow in Essex in the first week of November 1980 and again in 1985 I think..and also there was quite a bit around the 20th November 1988 if memory serves me right?
  20. Ditto it reached 36c where I live which is 10miles from Heathrow as the crow flies or an airplane for that matter...so do not see what all the fuss is about?
  21. thats where i am in Ruislip fairly hammering it down lots of lightning alarms going off etc
  22. Spring was pretty dry here also..had no appreciable rain in May or June and apart from some heavy showers July has been dry also.
