In Absence of True Seasons Oh yeah definitely, if we’ve had a stinker spring and/or summer then nice weather come Sept/Oct it does feel a bit wasted. Definitely felt that a bit in late Sept and early October 2008… Likewise cold in March and April after a naff winter.
-
In Absence of True Seasons Any good weather in September I would welcome with open arms given it’s in the Atlantic half of the year. Anything to delay the onset of the depressing season.
-
Good to see a greening of the Iberian peninsula following the abundance of cool wet weather down there so far this year.
-
*Stormforce~beka* It’s not as simple as that. You’ve got to consider airmass source, high or low pressure, time of year etc.
-
danm Indeed, although convective infill isn’t a feature of winter months.
-
danm We'll have to agree to disagree then, but it's a well known issue. Same in summer. High pressure but with cool upper air often sees infill problems. When the upper air warms up with pressure still high, you'll often get cloudless conditions.
-
danm Sure, the centre was, but pressure was still very high over most of the UK. We need to get rid of the cold upper air. The weekend's set up with 850s of say 5-10 would've been much sunnier nationwide.
-
danm I think even more so we need warmer upper air. Pressure was around 1025-1030mb over the weekend but central England eastwards saw a lot of infill after clear starts. Brilliant sunshine here in the West Country though.
-
baddie It’s more down to the air source. You can get the same effect in winter months but obviously it’s a lot colder. That said, I’ve also seen some pretty stunning sunsets from Atlantic sourced setups.
-
*Stormforce~beka* A very dull month, but more a dress rehearsal for July onwards… both May and June had over 250 hours here.

TwisterGirl81 Since last June!
-
baddie Much better air quality from the south round to the northeast. Deeper blue sky and stronger sun but generally more boring sunrises and sunsets
-
raz.org.rain I must caveat my post with the fact that there was plenty mediocre westerly naffness between those charts… but 1-2 weeks of solid summer every month with episodes of less settled is definitely preferable to all our summer coming in June and for five minutes in August and September like last year!
-
*Stormforce~beka* There is hope...
-
In Absence of True Seasons It happens at least every other year even here and we have double the annual rainfall of London lol.
