Lots of nashing of teeth. when a front does not make it all away across or when an easterly isnt quite a potent as forecast. Anyway welcome and have fun.

How much so far this month, Will? It must be well over 100mm by now. 64 mm so far in August here in the desert regions of the southern Peak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Harris Posted August 16, 2019 Location: Walsall Location: Walsall Share Posted August 16, 2019 One word for today. Filth There's been plenty of good summer weather in the last 3 months but also plenty of rubbish. We seem to flip between the two. This week being a perfect example, Tuesday/Thursday very pleasant summer days. Wednesday/Friday absolutely vile. Can't we just have 2 weeks of nice quiet , normal weather. 21 degrees and sunny intervals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, my weather station is broken. The Met Office did though show that June had 200% of the long term average monthly rainfall and July 150%. They also showed that by the end of July this area had already had more rain than the long term summer average, with one more month of summer to go, and August so far has got to be wetter than average.

Would that be due to intense periods (I remember that bad week in June for example) I'd be interested in days of rain, hours of sunshine stats if available.

No idea on sunshine amounts but there have been very few dry days. The first dry day wasn’t until 21st of June and it has rained most days this month. i’ve had people telling me this summer hasn’t been that bad. I think they’re insane! I’d hate to see what they consider a bad summer! Absolutely torrential rain shower just now. Soaked right through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure fathers day was dry? And the 1st (derby day) we had about 10 minutes light rain at 10am and now it's glorious sunshine and a decent forecast. I could cope with this every Saturday!

I walk everywhere and got wet every day for the first 3 weeks of June. We had showers first thing this morning and then an absolutely torrential downpour around 10am. I got soaked right through. I’ve only lived up here for 3 years and I’m more used to the drier climate of the South East but, even so, I think this summer has been awful.

Aye makes a change, but can tell time of year is getting on, slight nip early and late, feels looks very much like an average early May, only wind from opposite direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
