2004? I don't think summer 2004 was a great summer. Mid June-mid July was poor and August was pretty much very wet with plenty of thunder.

Model Output Discussion - 15th March onwards
Weather-history replied to Cambrian's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Hmmm That UKV says 29°C, met office on their forecast says 26°C for my area Chester area UKV says 32°C, 27°C on the met office forecast -
Hadley precipitation for NW Eng and NWales 18th consecutive day (up to 6th June) with nowhere recording any rainfall. That's quite remarkable, it is not easy to get that length period of time without registering anything over such a large area. Take the summer of 1976, never reached that length Spring 1980? Nope. August 28 1959 - Sept 19 1959: 23 days

June 2023 C.E.T. and EWP forecast contests
Weather-history replied to Roger J Smith's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
June 1957 is a standout. Pembroke: 326hrs Chichester: 322hrs Plymouth: 308hrs Birmingham: 291hrs Manchester Airport: 285hrs ================ June 1960 may surprise some people, Bidston Observatory on the Wirral recorded 298.8hrs June 1969 was another one, Coventry recorded 256hrs, 253hrs at Manchester Airport In June 1925, Torquay recorded 349.2hrs, in June 1921, it was 303.9hrs -
Early June 1983 saw violent thunderstorms and large hail hit parts of the UK. My local town was particular badly hit by large hail that residents of a certain age recall vividly to this day

Gone down in meteorological folklore, the snowfall that stopped a cricket match in Derbyshire during June. The first 4 days of June 1975 had a real impact on that summer's CET. Summer 1975 had a CET of 16.9 but if you take out first 4 days and the CET for the rest of the summer was 17.3 Also it must be the warmest season in recorded history to have had snow fall during it in southern parts of the UK at low levels. A seasonal CET of 16.9 and yet it recorded at least one day of falling snow during it.

Spring 2023 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
Weather-history replied to reef's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Can anyone recall the last really thundery spring? Suspect someone is going to say this year but around my neck of woods, I'm struggling to think of the last one. None of the springs of the 2020s have been thundery here. 2020, 2022 and 2023 were completely thunderless, anyway -
The decline in thunder days.

Its now approaching June and still not heard a thunderclap this year. Last year, it wasn't until September. Hardly anything, thunder wise since autumn 2021. -
#NameOurStorms: is it a good idea?
Weather-history replied to Thunderbolt_'s topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Now it is very highly likely that we are not going to seeing a met office named storm this season, is there any point changing the names for the coming season?
