Disappointing no snow winter again, 37 days where the temperature was 10c or more. Only 20 days where no rain recorded (340mm total). No snow days. Only 10 days where the temperature max was 5.0c or less. No ice days, and only 16 air frosts.
Thought December was going to be colder last third, so got that very wrong. Going to try again this month with the same thought process- so 3.8 please but drier at 64mm
Looks like the first third of the month may not get much above 3c, the next third maybe above average, which could take the CET to around 5c. Which leaves the final third? I really hope it goes below average again. So with that ‘hope’ I’ll go for a final CET of 2.8 please with 64mm
Just to be clear, if talking about the CET, then June 2023 is the 5th highest at 17.0c, there are 4 previous June’s higher than 17.0c. September 2023 is indeed the highest recorded in the CET series.
October is a difficult month to predict as there is usually residual heat available to the South, or south west, whereas the air to the north is starting to cool rapidly through the month, obviously it depends on which becomes dominant over the 31 days. I think the warmer air will dominate more than the cooler option. So going for 12.4 with 88mm
Had the heating on today, not sure I’ve done that in August before. I usually wait until well into September. Heat alert for me, lasts until around Sept 21st
I wish it could stay like this for the rest of summer temp wise. Max at about 24 with single digit night time temperatures. Perfect - not a fan of extreme heat, which for me can happen from about mid June to mid September- I always look forward to the end of September
