The same here! I wouldn't mind a 2008/2010 outcome to be fair - decentish summers. Those five days - they were all warm and sunny. My vague memories of 1993 when I was about 8/9 was a wet summer...2012 out did it and there is evidence.
Not a vintage year...and even on a personal level too.
Very well said virtualsphere. June 2012 has to be the worst June I have ever experienced. In the Midlands, I remember FIVE nice days - three of them I was ill in bed with a virus that had me ill for two weeks. It was nothing but rain, rain and more rain. I remember coming home from work, and it was VERY unsually cool - shivered walking home. We had a huge problem with slugs in the back garden, as the grass was that saturated it was like a marsh! Summer 2012 will be memorable for the wrong reasons.
If this comes true, this will be VERY good news. As mentioned, a 2006 esque vibe to it. Yet again, I remember April and early May being crap in the Midlands weatherwise, and it soon picked up, June was like an oven!
Looking gooood
Honestly today hasn't been too bad. Breezy when I left to go out, warmed up in the afternoon - sunny, even walked it from the post depot to my flat!
You never know! It's looking promising though with the outlook. The weekend, how low is the drop going to be? It's been around 12-15C in Weston-super-mare. 9-11C would do me OK even if it's a bit ropey.
