Mother nature is a delicate animal, it seems like when one season is out of kilter, the others often struggle. Last years decent summer followed a proper winter so it shouldn't be a surprise we are struggling now after such a terrible(as in no cold or snow) winter just gone. Be interesting to know if this has happened a lot historically or just a coincidence.

1988 was the same.

A mild winter 1987/88, with little or no snow, followed by a dreadful summer. July that year was awful.

1998 followed a very mild winter 97/98, and the summer that year was poor. 98/99 was mild and boring.

Probably coincidence. 2012 was a poor Summer but the following Winter was a cold one. Overall it was a colder Winter than 2017/18 which brought us those two beasts in late February & March (not technically Winter). In 2013 we didn't have to wait as long for the cold to arrive (arriving about 5 weeks earlier in mid January). The following Summer was quite hot especially July but the next Winter was about as poor as you could get for cold/snow. So I think coincidence.

I hope next winter is not reminiscent of 1988/89!

Have to say though that there was some fairly knowledgeable posters on here who were going for an unsettled start to Summer a while back but they got dismissed before it even happened - mostly because it wasn't what most in here want to see in Summer. I think last Summer skewed things a tad. I don't mind an unsettled Summer but I won't rain on anyone's parade *mind the pun*.

Unsettled yes but this start to summer is record breaking! Several days 10c below average, sun hours well below average and what  about the rain and flooding! I repeat no one called this back in may.

Like I said something must be missing , or the pros and other background signal experts misunderstood what was being shown

fwiw  in the cet thread I went for above average rain, and an above average temperature, so a bust for me.

Since what year do you reckon this started? It must have been the 1980s for Poland also.

TBH its difficult to know exactly when things began to change. Another trend is Winteg arriving later.

No one could have predicted how wet it's been your right there but no one predicted that anyway. Like I said there was a few people here who said this wasn't going to be a good start to Summer & it's come true but they got dismissed because of how hot last Summer was, it skewed opinions. I recall a similar thing the Winter after Dec 2010 - people in here were gunning for something cold again, maybe a watered down version of Dec 2010 but in the end only Feb 2012 delivered briefly. Although that was mostly an England affair as the cold never made it much further west.

Summer so far has been thoroughly depressing in every sense of the word.

No heat, no storms, cold and very limited sunshine.

I've given up on any heatwaves this summer, so all i'm hoping for now is the occasional waft of warmer air so we can maybe get some storms, because the climate here in Hampshire for the last 14 months has been devoid of any interest whatsoever.

The Summer index is 10 x [(mean max of summer) +(total sunshine)/67 - (rain days/8)] 

 

One question I have, is how do you pro-rata it for this summer i.e. a summer that is part way through?

Yes at least I did get some snow down here back in February. A fleeting event in a very unmemorable Winter.

Yes, that was the winter that bucked the trend and introduced us to a classic period of colder winters, but the summers were poor.
