With the summer CET running at its lowest for 20 years i think many of are allowed to feel let down and expecting better. Such a cool summer cant be described as average as theres been no proper very warm spell yet. July 1996 was bang on the 71-00 average and that had some decent spells, far better than this July. Just shows what an average July is capable of delivering.
Yes, this has been a month of dull and boring consistent mediocrity, in my location and most others the max temp has never been more than 3-4 degrees above the average max. Even in an average month there are usually a period of 4-5 days at 4-8 degrees above the average max.
Even in the below average June just gone places got into the 30's compared with the long term (30-yr) avg. max of 18-20°C (albeit on one day). July was just dull and boring. UK weather at its most tedious. And there were plenty of considerably cold days at least here. I don't call a high of 13°C (on 18th) mild, let alone warm. It's down right cold.
Oh well, roll on August. It will be the warmest month of the summer and even see some southerly winds which could give spells of temperatures of 25-35°C.

Probably just the hat and coat that he's currently wearing. I can understand his frustration. I mean, you know what happens to certain parts of a guys body when it gets cold. To be like that all the time must be really bad.......
Oh? You mean my head aches when it's cold? Yes it does. But my hat helps to take care of that, so it's not like I have a headache all the time.
-
Totally overcast and not even reached 15°C here so the hat and coat have come out today again. Nothing more ridiculous than needing that in summer but there we are, when it's cold it's cold.
-
My thoughts exactly. I might not be that old but its the most average summer I can remember!
No massive extremes and a really good balance of all the main British Weather types. Weve had 6 Thunderstorms, warm to very warm occasionally hot temperatures, a right amount of rain and sunshine. Too many expect far too much from this country.It is not too much to expect one summer month with above average sun and temperatures and below average rainfall, after at least 8 July and Augusts with all the opposite.

:lol:
Sometimes, the truth is funny.
-
10 hours of the shiny stuff.
Correction. I actually had 11.6 hours of sun.
-
A mild and pleasant day.
Low of 9°C at 05:36
High of 22°C at 13:41
No rain, and no sign of this rain supposedly happening tonight either.
10 hours of the shiny stuff.
-
It's the coolest since 2007 here, and also wet as the last 4 have been thanks to a dreadful 3 inch soaker mid month. Not as cloudy as last year, but not as warm either. No warm spells as 2008, 2009 and 2010 all achieved.
-
Up to 22 degrees here, could see 24 today I think.
-
20°C after a low of 9°C, probably will reach 24 or so today.
-
A much above average 104mm of rain here, some 4.1", the fifth wet July in a row.
-
It'll all turn out alright in the end. Just have faith! In my forecast for a warmer August, that is. It doesn't all have to be glaringly obvious that warmth is coming this soon. But it will surely develop into the 2nd week of August.

^^Blimey, apart from that old one on the left, they sure do like ugly buildings in Liverpool.

Today's stats:
Low, 12°C, 05:47
High, 18°C, 13:49
No rain, 1.75 hours sunshine.
-
A below-average 17°C and cloudy after a low of 12°C last night. More cloud than I was led to believe, today.
-
I may revise my guess upwards around July 31st - seeing how the picture progresses, I am onto more of an idea of a warm August.
-
I missed three consecutive days of heavy convective storms in England when I jetted off to Rome for the week in 2007. At least I got some heat though.
I missed a really good thunderstorm in Lincoln when I went to France for a week in early August 2008.
I moved from Berkshire to Peak District in the spring of the year of the 100 degree heatwave in August 2003 in SE England - so the highest I got to experience was a mere 31c here.
-
A S u m m a r y of the w e a ther
Low last night: 10°C @ 02:29
High today: 20°C, @ 15:39
There was a shower at 07:55 which gave half a mill of rain.
Otherwise, a mostly sunny day, with about 6-8 hours of the shiny stuff.

The starkest example though was probably July 2000 when most of the eastern half of Britain was frequently affected by low cloud from the North Sea due to north-easterly winds. East Anglia was most heavily affected with just 97 hours of sunshine at Lowestoft and maximum temperatures some 2-3C down on the 1961-90 average at Norwich, but areas as far apart as Aberdeen, Durham and Lincoln were cold and exceptionally cloudy.
I lived in Berkshire back in those days.
In early June 2007 the easterly period brought nothing but sunshine and heat in Lincoln, places further north might well have been stuck under the low cloud but we weren't.

E I think your memory is playing you tricks regarding how many days N Sea cloud, be it St or Sc sheets affect this and the Lincoln area. Certainly double figures on average and some years well into 20-30 days in the year. Not sure how often that affects where you are living but it sure takes the temperature down, just look at your value and mine and you are supposed, (height reason), to be about 3C below mine at sea level (well all of 40 ft here).
I certainly remember the days in Lincoln when we got north sea cloud, but it was usually in March - April and by my weather records I enjoyed avg. maxes circa 21°C and 50% more sunshine than my current location. North sea cloud rarely seemed to affect that area much in summer. I'd say this summer has had a lot more NE winds than usual.

It almost makes anyone this side of the Pennines want to cry reading some of the reports!
Touch of NE to the winds here and goodbye the yellow thing in the sky-my Davis suggests it ALMOST reached 20C here before falling back to 18.1C. IF I take a pair of binoculars and look VERY carefully I THINK I can just about make out a chink of blue, possibly even 2 of them!
Anyone who welcomes a NE flow, this side of the hills anyway, does seriously want their heads examining.
The only exception is a good cold flow of that direction in winter which gives the sunshine and snow showers for this area-a rare beast.
and you spend so much time complaining about your weather-try sunny donny as you seem to want to move from the lovely Peak District!
I used to live in Lincoln (not far from "Donny" is it?) and that side of the country has 300hrs more annual sunshine and half the rainfall than we do, and 3°C high temps in summer, so what that you get one worse day than us, hardly the complete picture is it duh...
And anyway I'm not complaining today, I'm rather enjoying seeing sunshine and 20°C, long may it continue!!

16th - 22nd was extremely whinable here.
Weather on those dates:
Max temp °C - Rainfall (mm) - Sunshine (hours)
16 - 13mm - 2hrs
15 - 35mm - 0hrs
13 - 32mm - 0 hrs
14 - 4mm - 0hrs
15 - 1mm - 0hrs
17 - TR - 4hrs
16 - 4mm - 2hrs
Average/Total
15.1°C - 89mm - 9hrs
Only someone who has had a lobotomy or is in other way somehow mental incapacitated would not whine about that in July. We had our July average monthly rainfall in two days for f'u'j's sake.
But of course that was last week, now the weather has improved I am not whining, see?
-
Now 20°C here. Sun out in full force.
-
Now approaching 20 degrees here, could be the warmest day since 15th.
No massive extremes and a really good balance of all the main British Weather types. Weve had 6 Thunderstorms, warm to very warm occasionally hot temperatures, a right amount of rain and sunshine. Too many expect far too much from this country.
