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
