Summer 2020 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
Froze were the Days replied to CheesepuffScott's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Didn't say it's not possible did I? just said the likelihood of being cool was slim - I know where my money would go. And yes correct on a cold winter happening again... -
Summer 2020 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
Froze were the Days replied to CheesepuffScott's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I'm actually hoping for a cool summer which usually means more interaction from the Atlantic or a high pressure system displaced westwards, usually not all bad news as we generally see some more convective activity...the chances of this summer being cooler than average, pretty slim to be fair. -

All the hallmarks are there again, either high pressure to the north of us or over us or strong enough to the west or east...Atlantic has gone absolutely AWOL again and to think we had nothing but the Atlantic bar a few blips from October through to early March. Though with all that rain you'd think the reservoirs should be amply topped up to cope with any drought this summer. -

It really doesn't amount to much this up coming cold/colder spell as this warm period currently experiencing will do just as much for the CET as next week will for cold. Next week looks sunny and with the strength of the sun at this time of year you can guarantee some of the 'colder' days won't be far off normal (particularly in the south) - this has been the way for the last number of years - warm periods more than off-set the colder ones (when they do pop up, which is not often) but not a guarantee. -
Strikes me we don't get poor bank holidays in the spring and summer anymore...trying to think of the last poor one. Another sunny day but with the chance of some T-storms for a few going by Blessed Weathers above post. Happy VE Day everybody...'we'll meet again don't know where don't know when but I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny daayyy'

To date this certainly has to be one of the if not the driest April's on record - only 1 mm here so far and I should think in quite a few southern/south eastern areas not much more as well. Next week looks somewhat more unsettled...we'll see. -

April 2018 was 2c above the 1961-90 series and May 2.1c so that month couldn't have been very cold at times otherwise we wouldn't have got that anomaly (we know March was) and as for 'another cloudy' one re: summers...not sure about that as sunshine totals of recent summers are on the rise. Attached shows the anomaly for 2018 and that is going by the warmer 1981-2010 series! -

Really?...2018 ring any bells?, cooler summer than average? well it's about time we did but I very much doubt it, even the fairly miserable June last year was near normal CET wise. -
April 2020 C.E.T. and EWP forecast contests
Froze were the Days replied to Roger J Smith's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Depressing looking at the CET anomalies for this year so far...we are certainly heading for a record breaking year if it carries on in the same vain. -
See NW has dropped the cooler more unsettled headline from yesterday. Today we have 'destabilising low and showers' which basically in this part of the world will mean a bit more cloud and probability dry for most and temperatures above normal. I feel the theme is slowly setting in for the rest of spring and summer.

A lot of the humid/warmer countries and southern hemisphere don't seem to be effected as bad - Malaysia/Thailand/Taiwan/Vietnam etc. countries not far from China...as mentioned we'll probably get a cold spell when we don't need it. Back to this country, and just wish this wind will do one never mind the rain!

Winter 2019/20 | Moans, Ramps & Chat
Froze were the Days replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Didn't record one single air frost here on the Essex coast, the 1st time that has happened since I've been recording from 1983/84. Dismal winter and it's a toss up between this and 2013/14 what is worse! -
What Did You Think of Winter 2019/2020?
Froze were the Days replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I go by facts...not how you 'feel'...if you did that every British winter would feel cold at some point regardless due to cloud, dampness and wind and remember we have a vast ocean to our west and with warming seas and atmosphere that sadly only amounts to one thing: cloud, and without the sun in winter it's never going to feel warm, but has this winter been mild? absolutely.
