    Just had a quick look at our stats around here for the last 2 weeks. 10 dry days and only one day where we had a sub-20C max, and in the last 7 days we have had 6 dry days with each day having a max temperature above 70F/21C. It's not exactly heatwave territory but like I said, pleasant.

    It may well have been crap in Devon, in which case, condolences. But just because it may have been crap in one location doesn't mean that 150 miles away it hasn't been a pleasant month here. There is no need for such animosity because it's been a reasonable few weeks here. Currently, glorious sunshine and 22.7C. Dare I say it, rather average for August.

    I was responding to your comment clearly aimed at me. For Bucks it has been a pleasant month so far, and Buckinghamshire isn't Devon.

    Well it has here. I could sit here and incessantly whinge instead? Temps average, rainfall average, sunshine above average around these parts. Pleasant. As much as that might upset folk!
  5. Nick L
    My opinion too. June amazing, July really poor, August pleasant.

    We were in Krakow last weekend and had very similar conditions. Lovely for a holiday sat by the pool, but horrendous for a city break.

    What a lovely weekend and with plenty of pleasant days to come this week too!

    I'm not really seeing any substantial difference with the 9z UKV. The risk for me remains Kent and Sussex, perhaps E London and then into Essex and East Anglia. As much as I would love to see it substantially further west!

    I was referring to the London area in fairness. Already clearing up nicely south of London looking at some webcams in Sussex.

    GB News? That's killed off any chances then.
  11. Nick L
    Yep, apologies, tend to agree! Was always likely to be a mushfest this morning.

    Are we talking at cross purposes here? I'm talking about the thunderstorm warning for tonight. Edit: I didn't realise they had issued one for this morning. Fair enough, that wasn't warranted really.

    Some areas could well see 30mm+ in an hour. That's definitely severe and not just normal rain.
  14. Nick L
    It almost comes across as "don't blame us guv".

    I think this is absolutely a large part of it. We have been spoiled in the last decade, it has been frighteningly easy to get full on heatwaves which just 20 years ago would have been exceptional. If we hadn't had a miserable spring then I suspect there wouldn't be as much frustration with this summer.
  16. Nick L
    Just the norm now really.

    Unusual but not unheard of. And I'm about to go onto a Teams conference with TfL to try to explain the whole mess without sounding like I haven't got a clue.

    The existing cloud *should* break this afternoon, rather than that clear slot moving over the SE. Given how warm and humid the air mass is, it will feel very warm in any sunny spells later on.

    Real headaches trying to pin this one down. UKV/UKMO have some really nasty downpours skirting through the SE corner, E London and East Anglia, 30mm+ an hour in some spots. Not surprised to see the mention of large (for the UK) hail in their warning. EC isn't particularly interested, however.

    Once this morning's rain clears (it's already dissipating) it should be a decent afternoon. At least this hasn't arrived tomorrow! The weekend is looking nice.
  21. Nick L
    Meanwhile, a topic I'm sure we'll all have more agreement on. The Met Office have named the latest "storm" for winds arriving in the SW later today. What is the point of this system, seriously.
  22. Nick L
    No it isn't.
  23. Nick L
    You can't sit there and poo-poo the stats and then throw this in at the end. Besides, June 2023 was one of the sunniest on record. Your reply has also gone off at a complete tangent to my post. I made no reference to temperature in the post you quoted, which I agree has been inflated by high mins. I was talking about sunshine, not temperature. July was a rotten month for daytime maxima, absolutely.
  24. Nick L
    Nobody is holding it up as some gold standard. I'm just tired of the whinging about a summer that, overall, has not been bad. If people are defining "awful" as below normal, worse than normal etc. then it's simply wrong to label it awful. If people are saying our normal climate is awful then I tend to agree, it's dreadful year round! There's a reason why many people go abroad for reliable sunny weather. I won't holiday in the UK again because I don't want it being ruined by the weather again.
  25. Nick L
    Okay, but your original post did say summer rather than the March-Sept period. I agree spring was dire, and the overall period would likely be below average, but summer certainly hasn't been.
