Ah lovely. You just can't beat it. 

As Summer trundles towards it's end the prospect of the best season of the year approaches.  Also good to see the chances of a bad plume event are slowly being chipped away before the end of August.

Are they? The anomalies and means say otherwise. Could be a nice few weeks of warm sunshine and some thunderstorms to enjoy. Hopefully a sunny and warm autumn to come, too

After a decent day yesterday a poor day today, drizzling and 18C now. Another excessively poor day from nowhere.

I think we are owed one after spring 2021 was merely an extension of winter. I see the BBC has now changed next weekend from 23c and sunny to two days with black cloud and rain symbols. It's getting beyond a joke now.

Any warmup looks precariously balanced. Anything from a washout and low pressure barrelling in as per ECM to brief warm up looks possible next weekend. I think the chances of any warmup for more than 3 or 4days look highly unlikely. I just hope when autumn and winter come they are kind. Not to many bad windstorms or big freezes. Mild and mainly sunny with a spattering of rain please.

Not been great for much of the southern half of the UK, like you say it comes after a very cold spring. A warm, sunny, foggy by night September and October would be some recompense, at least.

34.6C here at 3pm. Hotter than I thought it was going to be.

We shall see, we shall see....old mother nature will keeps us waiting what ever, that's what makes weather so interesting! I'll keep praying anyway! Warm low 20's fine, uncomfortable 25c plus plume with humidity it brings not so good.  Autumn is certainly my season, just feels so right with the temps and light levels.

No need to wait for autumn, it’s here now, temp down it 16.7C in another drenching shower. It’s a dire afternoon. I didn’t know so much rain could fall from such small radar returns.

Another dreadful summers day here to match a awful summer . Paddling pool redundant this year

...you forget the light levels. Also Autumn in the South equates to a normal UK Summer in the North!

Going to be a forgettable august this year,although most august`s are,last years wasn t though with those exceptional thunderstorms and heatwave.2004 was another eceptional august for thunderstorm activity and a diving jetstream bringing chaos to parts of the country with flash floods.

I'm a actually wishing 'summer' would just go now because it has been rubbish. Apart from the first 2 weeks of June and a week and an half in July. At least when it is wind and rain in autumn and winter I don't get so fed up about it!

If this dull benign August continues, more prolonged dull weather of any sort in the autumn will be that bit more depressing.

Praying for some hurricane activity to shove a high over us in September and October with long spells of sunshine and lingering warmth.

Well that would be nice.....

A win for Matt Hugo then.

A couple of weeks back he was saying the teleconnections showed unsettled for mid month whilst the Met office were going for settled.

Looks rubbish next week now and models getting it wrong too.

Today has been great for night shift sleeping. Says it all!

Well as I said in July, August looked terrible and the pattern suggested it would last throughout - which now looks odds on. 

I fear a long drawn out cloud fest coming with little sunshine for a large swathe of the UK. September doesn't look much better either with the pattern spiralling on.

2 horrible days to come here, Cambridge okay though, not affected by Cheshire Gap wetness

Good call from MH, he obviously has a good understanding of the teleconnections , better than keep updating with jam tomorrow forecasts.

Well said. At least you have got 'Wolves' in your user name! Despite the result yesterday.

I’ll be glad when summer is over to be honest. Not only has it been extremely sterile for the most part, but it’ll (hopefully) stop people from posting 10+ Day fl charts which rarely seem to materialise. 
 

Unpopular opinion but I’m looking forward to a good wind storm, to blow to cobwebs away.
