  1. Correct if it was the norm and snow was guaranteed every year all winter no one would care..let alone get excited.
  2. I live in Middlesex also...don't agree with your statement at all..apart from this last week it has been remarkably dry..25 days have hit 25c or above..the only thing missing is a sustained hot spell..as summer goes I have seen far worse...for me I would give it 8/10
  3. i don't hate it but im not quite sure why people get to the point where they wouldn't move to a certain part of the country due to lack of snow possibilities..or drive hundreds miles to see a bit of snow...I enjoy cold weather and if it snows it snows to me its meaningless these days bit like when it rains..but I do enjoy the comedy of posters who eternally chase any flake of snow..like it was the holy grail..and how a post gets thousands of likes if snow is mentioned in the post somewhere.
  4. Shame I missed it August is the only month in the year that I never saw snow when I lived in Canada...could have had a full house!
  5. 31c this afternoon not far from the magic 90f ..this makes it now 25 days of 25c or above this summer..not bad at all.
  6. clear blue skies wall to wall sunshine 27c cant ask for better really...looks like might just scrape another 30c tomorrow..not too shabby for this time of year.
  7. why don't you all go and moan in the appropriate thread that's what is there for...I have to say this has turned into the most depressing and miserable forum on the internet in the last 18 months or so
  8. Depends where you live..the south east certainly hasn't had a below average summer..the last half of June all of July and August have been very similar often warm often relatively sunny and very dry.
  9. isn't that exactly what we have had most of the summer in Middlesex?
  10. again having lived on the Canadian prairies ive seen so much snow and big thunderstorms im not really fussed by either anymore..so its im not that bothered...2/10
  11. The UK has what I would term merging seasons..where there is a slow transition from one season to another..i love Canadian seasons where they crash from one to another in matter of days.
  12. Interesting I looked at the almanac for Exeter and indeed it has only reached 25c once which was 30th June..where I live in West London on the same almanac it has reached 25c or more 22 times this summer so seems the warmth is very much localised to the south east.
  13. a strong one like I said at the start of my summary...plus it only my opinion on the forth coming winter...you never know I might be wrong.
  14. my thoughts are a strong el nino promotes mild and wet winters in the UK with a strong Icelandic and possible enhancement of a euro high..so I would hedge my bets in this direction at the moment
  15. Looks set fair after Friday right to the end of the month...for me the GFS is almost perfection for this time of the year..dry and warm with low humidity
  16. In North America seasons are measured astronomically even with regard to weather...so winter for example doesn't start until Dec 22nd..which I found a bit bizarre esp in Canada when it often starts snowing mid October. Their seasons do much better fit the pattern of the 1st of Sept, 1st Dec, 1st Mar and 1st Jun than ours..ours are more suited to the astronomical calendar me thinks
  17. I think peoples expectations of winter and summer conditions have become so skewed in recent years that any thing other than cold and snow in winter and heat and storms in summer is seen as abnormal disgusting weather. Lets be honest changeable and mild is normal for this country all year round. This summer for me has been near perfect..very dry often sunny and relatively warm with low humidity and long may it continue.
  18. IMO I think autumn will start relatively dry and warm..but gradually decend into a wet fest..with dry interludes few and far between.
  19. I wonder if people who live in Arid climates have a similar thread about their rain addiction?
  20. 27c here now might just squeeze 28c.
  21. Had lots of thunder in west London more than last year that's for sure.. also hasn't been unsettled at all apart from the rain on Friday and Sunday just gone it has been remarkably dry.
  22. wont be long until the nights noticeably start to draw in.... another week - 10 days?
  23. I still haven't turned the heating on since I came back to the UK which was April 2014..so that's 15 months and counting.
