i think you mean 30c..neither 1985,86,87,88 or 91 got above 32c

Summer8906 not sure how you move it to the historic section

Summer8906 i did a guess the year thread a while back in the lounge i think..but no replies

LetItSnow! one thing i remember about summer 2001 ..the last week of August was my son's 4th Birthday and bought him a bike the weather was hot and sunny and behold the stats prove my memory to be right.

I'm a little perplexed as to why 1989 is considered an underrated summer..rating my top 5 summers of my lifetime before i moved to Canada would look like this: 1. 1995 - Stats wise there is little to choose between 95 & 76 but 95 was different gravy and gets my number 1 by a country mile over anything else 2. 1976 - Although i just about remember 76 i do remember the heat and the endless drought ..what makes it really stand out was the garbage summers that followed. 3. 1983 - Probably the best July of my lifetime extremely sunny and dry ..August was none too shabby either 4. 1989 - Similar to 1983 although more thundery esp. Mid June to Mid July ...heat was more oppressive than 1983 why it comes lower. 5. 1990 - This was a tough one you could easily go for 94, 03 or 06 here but I'm going for 1990 due to what was going on in my life at that time.

2 days of gales and heavy rain coming up here..also the possibility of a record low pressure reading for the time of year ..going to go out and purchase some waterproof trousers

*Stormforce~beka* i have full air-conditioning built in throughout my house

Summerlover2006 as i no longer live in the UK i thinks the effects of La Nina on the summer are less pronounced than they are here where i am

Don i would say we are 6 weeks ahead in moving into La Nina than we were in 1998

with the transition from strong El Nino into La Nina we may see a summer similar to 1998

miserable day again today snowing again this morning..generally damp and cold all round.

Addicks Fan 1981 looks like all members as of yesterday are forecasting a La Nina of some sort.

danm pretty much ..eating into my "summer"

SollyOlly i couldn't live in a house without AC now
