    august 2003 was the driest month i recorded in exeter between 1995-2007...with just 2 days of recordable rain out of 31...also my garden averaged a mean daily max of 25.85c..only beaten by july 06 with 26.19c..so a very dry and hot month in devon at least..so not confined just to the se.

    what i found strange about the heatwave of august 2003..i went with my wife and kids to the beach because it was so hot mid afternoon..when we got there we dipped our toes in the water..what was weird was that there was no sea breeze at all.. the sea was totally calm with not a breath of wind..and it was just as hot as inland..this was at about 3pm when sea breezes are normally at their peak.

    just looking at the jan 79 chart..if tht was a recent winter..i would have expected to see temps 10-12c with a sw flow like tht..not 3-5c...oh how times have changed!

    i find it difficult remembering 1990..as 89,90 & 91 were all good summers and they have tended ova the years to have got merged into one in my mind...wasnt jun 91 an exceptionally cool month?..i think summer 94 is largely forgotten because it was followed and eclipsed the following year by 1995.

    i was living in essex in 1990..i remember 1989 being a better summer esp june and july..although may 1990 was warm and very sunny i think?..i was in south london in 1994..july 94 was hot in london and the south east.

    dont want 2 rain on your parade but the date you have picked is the 6th sept 1995..not 9th june 1995...americans rite months\and days other way round..lol

    i was under the impression it was the other way round?...summer temperatures determine the amount of melt..therefore the the extent of ice that survives to the next winter..a run of cooler than normal summers will result in an increasing amount of ice retained each year?

    ive just spent 2 weeks in edmonton alberta and maybe moving from ontario as ive been offered a big money job...very cool and damp during my stay with temperatures a good 3-4 degrees below normal..what a contrast to when i was out there mid may when temps reached 30c...however i missed the big storms that hit southern ontario early last week.

    i tend to agree here..its bit like tryin to lose weight or get fit etc..after an intial burts of weight loss or gain in fitness..there is the plateaux effect where things will remain constant for a period even though the regime bein persuded remains the same or intensifies..before the the loss continues again..maybe this is what is happening?

    non eventful... pretty much like most of the winters of the last 10-12 years. No snow some frost..any way this was my last winter in the uk..this winter at least im guaranteed cold and snow!

    remember it well..i was in germany the week before on a school trip..lovely sunny and warm tshirts etc..by the end of the week it had become much colder jumpers and coats..came back to england on friday..sunday before went back to school caned it down with snow all day..had games first thing monday morning was very cold and windy (no snow)..not very pleasent tho.

    none! these areas are the least likely to gain from a northely outbreak as the south west is one of the most sheltered areas of the country and rarely sees any wintry showers from a northely flow...and certainly not enough for a covering even on dartmoor in january let alone april.

    im not talking about that im talking about the amount of soot deposited in the artic
  14. cheeky_monkey
    hasnt this always been a problem?...remember pre 1980s europe and north america pumped out huge amounts of soot into the atmosphere, so cant see the difference between then and now?
  15. cheeky_monkey
    probably because jan and feb were mild it just seems march was cold when in reality it wasnt!
  16. cheeky_monkey
    im predicting a summer similar to that of 1982 because i want to. my guess is 29.6c in central london possibly at kew or my old stomping ground of lewisham on the 26th july.
  17. cheeky_monkey
    would global dimming be a factor here?..western and northern europe is pretty much clear from atmospheric pollution in comparison to 40/50 years ago result warmer winters and summers whilst asias and chinas is on the increase? could that explain cold outbreaks in these areas. while we get none?
  18. cheeky_monkey
    im not expert on global warming or co2 emissions..but how long does co2 that we pump into the atmosphere remain there for..is it months years or decades??
  19. cheeky_monkey
    ill think you will find everybody has quoted 0.5c not 0.5f
  20. cheeky_monkey
    strange how your man uses stats to suit his own ends?..eg 7.8c in 1696 to 10.0c in 1732 a rise of 2.2c in just 36 years..then compares this to 0.6c in the last 100 years!..well if you compare 8.4 in 1963 and 10.6 in 1990 i can do the same in just 27 years!..most of what he writes uses very carefully selected data to prove a point and ignores everything else, not very well balanced or presented! However i do think there is some mileage in solar activity and global cooling how much though is another matter.

    our neighbours tree has been in blossom since last week of january..not unusual to see blossom in feb in this part of the world..esp during recent winters.
  22. cheeky_monkey
    dosnt quite work...96-97 was much colder than both 2000-01 and 2005-06..strange how we now gone from severe winters to cold winter..and now to cool winters?
  23. cheeky_monkey
    if you include this jan...only 1 out of the last 21 have been more than 1c below normal (1997)..but 12 have been more than 1c above normal!!
  24. cheeky_monkey
    definetly a lot more ice in north america..west greenland..newfoundland and st.lawrence

    statistically it is like tryin to throw a six..the odds are 6-1 each time you throw a dice...no matter how many times you have thrown the dice before and not thrown a six...so if a sub 2 Jan is a 10-1 shot ..evry jan will be 10-1 against it being sub 2 regardless of how many years we have wait for or how few.
