    How far north do you reckon that MCS over France will get? It could be a noisy night for a lot of people!
  2. AderynCoch
    Full-on thunderstorm now, with constant lightning. Pouring down with rain.
  3. AderynCoch
    A few rumbles of thunder here. It looks dark to the west.
  4. AderynCoch
    Close to average rainfall and warmer than average temperatures? I don't think so, unless there's a notable lack of sunshine involved.
  5. AderynCoch
    12.1C

    Ah rightio. This 10C+ April feels like it's crept up on us without noticing, which shows how used to such months we've become. I hope we're not about to pay for a string of mild months with a cool summer. I want the run to continue to September, then we can have a string of cold months!

    The 1981-2010 average is 8.5C, as posted by Roger at the very beginning of this thread. Not that hard to find really!

    It has clouded over here this evening with some rain thrown in. Looks like a case of good timing!

    Today was magnificent. Forget spring-like, it was practically the first day of summer. A huge line for the ice cream van outside Croxteth Hall can attest to that.

    The first half of August 2004 was very warm and thundery. A dream for convection-lovers. I think we had low pressure anchored to the southwest of Britain, allowing warm air to be advected off the continent from the southeast but making it unsettled and humid (some very warm nights that month).

    Mars has brightened impressively over the past couple of months and reached opposition on 8th April, when it was about 57.4 million miles away from Earth. It must be brighter than Sirius now. I remember the really close opposition in August 2003 (34.6 million miles away) when Mars outshone Jupiter. We'll get nearly as close again in July 2018: http://cseligman.com/text/planets/marsoppositions.htm

    To have a July duller than August 2008 is pretty damning when you consider that it's a month closer to the summer solstice in June, and August 2008 was truly terrible for sunshine (beaten only by the nightmare August of 1912). Even in Shropshire July 2010 wasn't that wet but it was rotten just to the north. Wetter than 2009 and 2012 according to the Met Office maps and about the same as 2007. We really have had some rotten Julys sandwiched between the excellent ones of 2006 and 2013.

    It's possible for it to be just as bad though. I can sum up my hopes and the actual outcomes of this "winter" thusly:

    That's how I used to look at it. I liked to do things at home when I was off, so I preferred to have the nice weather when I had to go to school (when I would actually be outdoors much of the day).
  15. AderynCoch
    July 2010 was a very contrasting month. It was very warm and dry in your part of the country but here it was vile (exceptionally dull and wet).
  16. AderynCoch
    Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been terrible. But it has been humdrum, while the general impression seems to be that we're in the midst of a beautiful halcyon spring because it's an improvement on winter (not very difficult!) or because it reached 20C a couple of times in London. Besides, for me warmer doesn't mean better in March. Another grotty day today to add to the 2014 repertoire of bland.
  17. AderynCoch
    This spring so far is overrated. There's been far too much bland drizzly autumnal muck for my liking. It's a lot warmer than last year but it's hardly 2011 either. A few sunny days is the least we should expect. The bland plays on as it has done since autumn...
  18. AderynCoch
    Weird. I'm only about three miles from Aintree and it's been mostly dry here, with only the odd spot of rain. Still grey and drab of course.

    So that walk earlier on has basically taken ten years off my life. Saturday seemed worse though,
  21. AderynCoch
    9.2C
  22. AderynCoch
    Funnily enough I was commenting that the air quality seemed poor when I was out earlier on today, with a noticeable haze in the air. It also did on a couple of days earlier in the month. What gives?
  23. AderynCoch
    We seem to get more thunderstorms in the colder months than in summer these days.
  24. AderynCoch
    Thunder and lightning here. Quite close too!
  25. AderynCoch
    If you think you're snow-starved, I spent last winter in the southern hemisphere and the winter before that brought little snow. So since January 2011 the only snow I've had is a brief thin covering in December 2011 and about 20 minutes of falling (not sticking) snow last month. I needed this "winter" like the proverbial hole in the head.
