    Some really poor stats for this March out there unless you like dull and wet Herstmonceux: 36% of the average March sunshine and 256% of the average March rainfall before today.

    I think it was more to do with their forecast rather a CET value. They did bang the drum of the coldest second half of March for decades/a March to remember etc since the start of the year and kept banging it.

    The thread is the "worst spring/summer combination" and the worst for me is cold, dull and wet. March 1991 was very mild, July and August 1991 were above average. May and August 1991 were very dry. They offset the negatives somewhat March-August 1987 was worse than 1991 for me but even then April 1987 was warm.

    After June 1991, it wasn't that bad. August 1991 is the 10th driest August on record for England and Wales. Incidentally May 1991 is the 5th driest May on record for England and Wales. Really is not easy to find a really bad March-August without talking in overall terms. Soon as you start to break it up month by month, you'll find a period that wasn't actually that bad.

    Interesting looking back at this now. Including posts by the late Philip Eden

    Any ideas what this was? I spotted it yesterday afternoon near the top of a cell to my NW

    There's another one June 1962 was exceptionally dry, 6th driest June on record for England and Wales

    July 1977 was drier for England and Wales than July 1976 There was so called "Duel in the Sun", Open Golf championship at Turnberry. That was played under glorious weather. Manchester Summer Index was 223 for summer 1977

    Strange summer 1968, 40% of that summer's rainfall total for NW England and N Wales fell over just 5 days that summer and 34 days recorded no rainfall for the region, which explains in part why the summer index was reasonable.

    1947 had May and September as well recording at least a 30°C somewhere 1949 had September as well 1933, 1935

    There against 1991-2020 averages. Are those anomalies that impressive against this average? In any case the milder end to the month are just going to squeeze those -ve anomalies further.

    Look at the change now, -ve anonalies are getting smaller and being pushed further north
  16. Weather-history
    Look as though summer 2021 was similar to 1968, the further west and north you were the better. Summer 1968 for W. Scotland was the driest since 1955, warmest since 1960, sunniest since 1960.

    It was absolutely horrific March 1947, all that snow that had accumulated and then you have a thaw with accompanying heavy rain as well. Nottingham had its wettest March day for 58 years with 1.3 inches of rain when the thaw finally came. Streets everywhere were turned into slushfests. The wettest March day on record for the EWP was the day the thaw broke through for England and Wales on 12th March 1947

    The Manchester Summer Index was 215 That does not say awful summer to me at least here. An awful summer would be 1954 with 147, 2020 had an index of 182
  19. Weather-history
    Needs to be pointed out that June and July 1979 were drier than average. Infact, the combined EWP total of those months were just slightly less than that of June/July 2022. So summer 1979 was not a washout. Even August 1979 was less than 100mm

    I posted a pictorial history of this the other week

    1879 was bad, a very cold delayed spring followed by a chilly washout of a summer

    Cut out the key period, slowed it down and enhanced it so the aurora can been seen a bit better
  24. Weather-history
    Mid March 1978 snowfalls. Cheltenham Gold Cup was postponed by a month.
  25. Weather-history
    Readjusted my screenshots to show the aurora a bit better
