what is late in the year?

I don't see any difference in the uk's climate.Its unpredictable and always been the same.This nonsense about the jet stream being further south. I recall growing up people saying if we are to get a good summer the jet has to move north. And watching clips from the 60s the jet stream was mentioned even then. It's not a new thing.We are having a run of poor summers..

Our climate hasn't changed, we are just in a run of poor summers.You can count on the fingers of one hand the great summers we have had in the last 20 years.. that's because we don't get summers like that every year. 1995/2003/2006.. Seems people have some kind of glary eyed opinions of summer in the UK. Summers are rarely settled like our climate full stop. That's why you need to count up how many good days you get compard to bad.. Speaking from my location we had 10 nice days at the start of June.. 4 nice day recently.. and hopefully a few more to end the Month.. That's well over half the month of fine weather.. Sure theres been no heatwave.. But I still fancy our chances of getting one this year. Still July/August and September to go

Gawd almighty people complaining. June hasn't been that bad..July and August are typically our summer months.. And from my viewing of weather in my life time. (no expert on the weather) September is more realiable than June. well the first 3 weeks.. Really warm evenings never appear in June. They are usually in mid July early August.. Next week is looking alright to. Previous Summers have been horrible. But this year hasn't been that bad so far..

Lovely day here near Leeds,think am being blessed with sunshine a lot of the country is under cloud again.Suppse to be nice again tomorrow.. So far June as been pretty good for my neck of the woods... Never going to be wall to wall sunshine from day 1 to day 30. But definetly settle for whats been sent down so far

Wasn't meaning to be harsh I mentioned where I was from earlier in the thread...But I will put my location into my profile.

what weather experts? take Paul Hudson, on Monday when he cameback from yet another holiday.. Predicted today, ie Friday to be a nice day,in my location.. Guess what? its not. No one knows what the pressure charts will be like in a 5/10 day period never mind rest of the summer.

June so far as been pretty good well first 10 days.. (for me near leeds anyway) I know the east coast has been suffering with cold and cloud. If we can get another 6/7 good days out of the remainder of June.. That would be a huge positive compared to last June in particular. Apart from today. Its not felt cold at all for a while. That's another positive going into the rest of the summer..

Was the plume ever going to arrive? the models can only predict something.. Doesn't mean the weather will actually play ball. No point in wondering what the charts say in a 10 day time frame. How many times do they change?.. Time people accepted our climate as it is.. and that's the most impredicatable weather on the planet..

Yeah another gorgeous sunny day here in west-yorks.. Blue sky as far has the eye can see

April 2 years ago was a good summer month.. wasn't summer but felt like it that month.. from what I recall..

2007 in my opinion was a worse than last summer for rain.June will turn out to be average to good. We'd need a really bad July and August to be anywhere near last year never mind 2007. July and August you will get some good weeks in there..Models change like the "wind".. 2007 was atrocious and a once off. This forum is here to discuss models.. From reading through them.The beginning of June some members were equating the model outputs to summers of 03 and 06.. and nearly 2 weeks of good weather.. Members are looking at the Models and now mentioning 2007.. Its either wonderful and marvelous or horrendous and despair..

So instead of it being a mixed summer. Lets look for the worse summer in living memory and mention it because a few models has pointed to a bad spell coming up.. Summer 2013 will be better than last year in my opinion.. so 2007 can be scrubed for starters.

Not really.. Just not had any decent warm evenings during "these poor summers" And please don't edit out parts of my conversation thank you.

For those wanting cold weather in the summer I hope we get a heatwave in midsummer that tempertures in the evening are in 17c/18c 19c and its unbearable to sleep oh yeah am a muppet sorry.

I remember growing up.. at the end of summers we use to get an autumn high that use to stick around into October.. wasn't hot but the days were very pleasant.. Likes been said 17c and no wind feels better than 21c and a NW wind... We won't get a summer like last year, purely on the law of averages.

Thankyou for the welcome Why is 2007 being mentioned in regards to this summer? Its the same reading the model forums.. the user who is looking for cold weather has barely typed a message in recent times. The coming week is looking pretty good. Lets worry about what will happen or not happen after that.. the English summer is simple.. the more nice days you get the better the summer will turn out.. You are never guaranteed 3/4 months of great weather. I always count September has a summer month.. Though I know its officially autumn.. So first week of summer is looking not to bad. That's +1 for summer 2013.

The met office keeps changing.. no one has a clue what will happen. Take last Friday the weather forecast was a mostly sunny day for Saturday for a lot of of the country that's what the bbc had.. Then next day it was completely different. very cloudy.. a complete change in the space of several hours. Same thing as recent years. Its all fine predicting what the summer will be like. You can have all the models in the world. But no one knows..
