  1. Bristawl Si Indeed. Had some good flashes of lightning and loud thunder though. Sun creeping out again now.
  2. Sparkiee storm Heard a lot of that tracking just to my west. If only it was a more southwesterly flow, I'd have had a more direct hit! Still... 2nd thunder day this month.
  3. Harry233 You did pretty well then. Perhaps the south was more at the mercy of the southerly tracking jet. Here are my rainfall figures for May, June and July, and then August by comparison.
  4. Summer8906 Maybe if we end up having a really troughy March and April, we might have an anticyclonic September and October for a change in compensation (I know it doesn't work like that). A few runs have hinted at heights trying to nose in towards the UK with hotter air sneaking into southern Spain by week 2 in April but I won't hold my breath. It's as if we are stuck in autumnal Atlantic rut now, but not quite with the same autumnal clout that pushes things along. Yuck.
  5. cheese Just like how it was when I lived there.
  6. Well probably have a dry period that spans two seasons but doesn’t make one particular season drier than average Maybe May-Jul.
  7. B87 Just shows how good the second half of June was! Sadly I missed Julys hot weather and instead arrived home in time for that really naff final week. I very much enjoyed August and September though.
  8. B87 Yes. Another 2005 type summer would be good. Lots of sunny weather earlier in June too even though it was cool.
  9. Harry233 Other than the opening days and a short interlude around the 21st-24th, it was incredibly unsettled and westerly. For many, it was wetter than June, myself included.
  10. WYorksWeather If that were to play out then we really need to April & May to be good months too otherwise this really is going to be a depressing year… again!
  11. In Absence of True Seasons Ironically, June 06th was the coolest day of the month over here with a high of only 17°C . It was the only day where North Sea cloud lasted for much of the day this far west.
  12. Much like January this year… but that just turned out bone dry, bright and chilly.
  13. In Absence of True Seasons Indeed…. It seems to be playing out as the same weather we’ve always had, just for longer periods of time, and excluding more of the extremes like snow, thunderstorms, severe gales etc. This of course allows for longer dull periods, longer wet periods, longer dry periods and so potentially higher heatwave maxima if heatwaves last longer.
  14. Wold Topper No bad thing, most suncreams are as bad if not worse than UV itself so it’s very much a risk : reward re what one slaps on.
  15. CryoraptorA303 Depending on what you mean by significant, 2018, 1995 and 1990 come to mind. The nineties examples were week long spells though.
  16. CryoraptorA303 That's a very interesting point, and would suit our unique situation on this planet.
  17. Not sure if you meant to quote my post as I can't see how it relates 100%, but yes that does often seem the case. Sometimes the hot and wet coincides e.g. Aug 2004 and 1997. Wrt to your second point, and as @Alderc 2.0 pointed out above, CET is largely irrelevant. June did a lot of the heavy lifting last summer anyway. The higher CET just meant the turd came out sloppier than perhaps otherwise.
  18. Summer8906 August 2012 was too wet to be considered decent in my neck of the woods. It was better compared to June and July, but had it followed June and July 2014 for example, it would've been considered poor. Last August and 2007 are perhaps more comparable... a lot of dry anticyclonic weather with few extremes and occasional unsettled blips. 2007 did better on the sunshine, 2023 did better on the temperature. Both were poor from a thunderstorms point of view but neither had lengthy wet Atlantic spells like the Julys. Anyway, back to the here and now, and all I can say looking at the models is...
  19. Bristawl Si Thinking back to 2022… round about now a near fortnight of glorious weather was starting…
  20. I hate to think what that makes the likes of the 2007-12 period…
