  1. CryoraptorA303 It is interesting that although October is a warmer month than April, temperatures of over 20c are much more likely in April. I am not sure why this is? April has bigger extremes of hot and cold, and in October the temperature always seems to be between 12-17c 90% of the time.
  2. Has the hottest day of any year ever been in May? I think it would be almost impossible, even if the summer is very poor. I know the warmest day of any year has been in September a few times (including last year).
  3. CryoraptorA303 Do you think there will be another year when 30 degrees is not reached in the UK? Has been a long time since it last happened, and the chances of it happening will get even lower in future years (unless the AMOC shuts down).
  4. kold weather The long and extended autumn started at the end of summer 2022, and has continued since then, apart from a 10 day period of cold weather in December 2022, and the 2 very hot months last year (June and September).
  5. *Stormforce~beka* Would you be happy with cold weather if it came with blue skies? Apparently SAD is responsible for high suicide levels in Scandinavian countries.
  6. *Stormforce~beka* When there are above average temperatures in the winter the sky is always grey. Clear skies in the winter always bring cold weather. At least the evenings are getting lighter now.
  7. CryoraptorA303 Would 30°C feel warmer in May than it would in September? High temperatures in the Spring usually seem warmer that high temperatures in the Autumn. Even though 2018 was a very good summer it did not seem all that oppresive compared to the really hot days in 2019 and 2022.
  8. Summer8906Nothing from the 1960s in your list. I have just had a look at nw3weather.co.uk (a weather station in London), and I can see how bad those summers were. 1965 looks amazingly bad. 1969 is probably the best of a bad bunch.
  9. It was well before my time but the summer of 1949 seemed like a good one.
  10. I don't think any of the poor summers from 2007-2012 were as bad as the summers from 1985-1988.
  11. reefIf the 1973 summer would be much warmer now than it was then, what would the summer of 1976 have been like if it happened in the last 10 years?
  12. CryoraptorA303 Intersting that you have March 4.5C higher than November, when March is usually the colder month of the two.
  13. WYorksWeather Do you think 35C is possible in May?
  14. 1989 is probably the start of the transition to warmer weather in this country. There have been weeks and months of cold weather since 89, but it seems to be the end of a run of colder than average years going back to 1960 (maybe even before then). Probably the first warm summer in my lifetime that I can remember. Too young to remember 83 and 84.
  15. As long as you have clear skies and no rain, it is good to be out and about at sunrise. Unfortunately I lack the motivation to get out of bed at that time. I had to start work at 6am for one day last March, so had no choice. It was really good to see the sun rise and the light levels increasing on my walk into work, with hardly any cars on the road, and most people still in bed. The sunset isn't really the same.
  16. You know you don't have to sit on the fence, you can say what you really think.
  17. What would have been even more undeserved would have been if the record was broken on 31st July 2020, the 3rd hottest day on record at the time. That just came totally out of nowhere, unlike the records of 2019 and 2022 which were predicted a long time in advance.
  18. Does going back to La Nina in spring mean 2024 will likely be cooler than this year?
  19. Someone mentioned on a another climate forum that it's the same system that is bringing record heat to the UK and France and floods to Spain. A blocked jetstream with floods on either side and heat in the middle.
  20. Have you been caught up in the floods? It seems like its really bad. At least one dead and five people missing, maybe swept away by the floodwaters.
  21. This summer was just the 11th time in the CET record where all the summer months had a mean temperature above 16c, and only the 3rd time since 1900. That does not make it a very good summer but it is still interesting.
  22. If the AMOC collapses (a very big if), the UK would get colder and years like 1986 would be new the normal.
  23. If this period of heat had arrived in mid/late July, could it have led to another chance of 40C being reached again?
  24. Do you think the end of solar cycle 21 was one of the the reasons why 1986 was so cold? The end of odd numbered solar cycles seems to coincide with cold weather.
  25. The worst combined July and August that I can remember is 2011. That was just awful. Maybe it was better where you live though.
