Really made a mistake going against my usual method in May, i'd have been winning by quite some way.
Pleased though, just hope we get a cool second half to July.
Temperature - 2/3 - A tad too humid at times
Precipitation - 2/3 - Fairly dry, could be better
Sunshine - 2/3 - Good amounts of sunshine
Total - 6 out of 10.
Was looking on another forum i visit (lots of pro-mets on) and observed a conversation between our Matt Hugo and one of the other mets. It seems that the long range ECMWF 30 day models keeps July warm however the other guy said this... So a transient picture then perhaps.
Incredible to see on satellite but yeah, the mid level circulation is pretty much non-existent and there's no vertical stacking to speak of to ignite convection.
Now that's a cracker (incidentally 1995 was an analogue i chose to discard) however i'm just curious as to whether your data indicates July being a one month wonder or collapsing in August ala 2006.
Have to say it actually looks prettier now than when it was a hurricane however there looks to be some relative shear perhaps caused by the quick speed as the mid level and surface circulations don't look stacked vertically to me.
Oh yes, i'm not suggesting a 2010 repeat exactly and infact my 'official' summer forecast goes for a warm August however with that being said the Azores High has negatively tilted far too often for comfort and seems to enjoy being west of the UK so when i think of a future outcome i'm pretty wary.
Probably the same value as those telling us there going to have a BBQ. I see little problem with expression of opinion in this case.
Aye, it's puzzling how it clearly had a defined circulation but with shallow convection it's probable that it never went to the surface and its waned since. 94E does look good.
