    Who would bet against either Altnaharra on Kinlochewe reaching, or even exceeding, 31C?
  2. Methuselah
    Hottest: 35C, MK in 1976. Coldest: -25C, Glenurquart December 1995.

    Looks like a good run to me: never cool, mostly very warm or hot, and two or three chances of storms...

    Mine's been away for a month. I've never re-acclimated to Softieland!

    Blimey, I was already old by then! But 1975 was indeed a good year for storms. Strangely enough, 1976 wasn't. I am seeing similarities between this year and 1983; that also made an about-turn at the very start of July: from miserably cool north-westerlies to 32C+ easterlies and southerlies...That said, that year has been and gone, and this one hasn't really started yet. Hope springs eternal? I remember that, too...I thought I was going blind!

    I was thinking that myself, earlier on. Are you ancient enough to recall the seven-mile-high cumulonimbuses of 1975 and 1983; bright sunshine to daylight darkness in the space of 10 minutes.?They were some storms!
  7. Methuselah
    On the contrary, I'd say that, should the heat arrive, the chances of somewhere seeing storms is approaching 100%?
  8. Methuselah
    Mind you, in light of recent research into global temperature-rise, there might not even be any missing heat...http://mashable.com/...g-hiatus-study/

    I think I remember reading a MetO publication that put 30 minutes' duration as the longevity limit for thunderstorms? That would put a 29 minute deluge, with thunder, into the 'thundery shower' category. John Holmes might, of course, know better?

    Taken in the context of all the other models' current outputs, the 12Z couldn't really be any better; it's not until around day-ten that the Atlantic looks like regaining control. And even that doesn't look entirely convincing.

    I used to read WUWT and Iceagenow; but their view of how science is supposed to work is so opposed to me own, I gave up...
  12. Methuselah
    Is it my imagination, or is there a dearth of butterflies so far this year?
  13. Methuselah
    Unless you're Ed Miliband...El Yes!
  14. Methuselah
    Me neither!
  15. Methuselah
    You'll need some good galoshes to go with your massive cape, William?
  16. Methuselah
    You could make similar, though somewhat more powerful, claim for WUWT, I think?
  17. Methuselah
    And what a time to be back in Blighty!
  18. Methuselah
    I tend to agree, Nick. I can recall the mid-1970s, when it seemed that snow all all-but gone extinct' a five-year window of nothingness seemed a very long time back then, to a teenager; that gap (along other things ) has shriveled away with time. I think that the same thing might be happening with thunder-days; we tend to see extremely active years as a benchmark: a benchmark that's only very rarely reached?
  19. Methuselah
    As long as the windfields turn out as expected, French/Benelux imports could be the order of the day, over here?
  20. Methuselah
    And the GFS 06Z is looking like a stonker!
  21. Methuselah
    A provisional 18.1, please...
  22. Methuselah
    My hay fever's been quite bad, today. But so what? I'm either going to die of heatstroke next week, or fall into an ice-bound river, come winter. It said so in the Express!
  23. Methuselah
    I think the ECM has a more southerly wind, too; a better direction than an east-south-easterly, straight off the North Sea.
  24. Methuselah
    As the old song goes: what a difference a day makes? It's bootiful!
  25. Methuselah
    Done that for you, Mushy...
