  1. Have to say I've enjoyed this week. A welcome reprieve from that vile May I had to suffer through. ECM going for round 2 though pretty soon. heat and drought in July if it verifies. Christ help the NHS if its anything like 5 years ago.
  2. its easy to get the 2 confused; lots of ramping in here after all if we're splitting hairs.
  3. not going to be a hypocrite; the winter hardcore are just as bad if not worse.
  4. because people on here aren't happy unless we're dripping like a pot roast.
  5. Perhaps that should read "safer". no matter the synoptics, I'm clearly doomed to misery.
  6. 5 days to our first milestone back to sanity. Next is the equinox in september. Better times await once this god awful season is over. If its not heat, its pollen. Doesn't agree with me at all.
  7. not that brief. Even so, the 850 temps being shown on the ECM for tuesday would produce (synoptics permitting) 26-30 no trouble. People wonder why I only feel "safe" with low pressure....
  8. You'd think so, but no. Getting comfortable conditions this time of year with high pressure is incredibly difficult. I'd take months of grey skies and rain rather than suffer through a heatwave any day of the week. Take next monday for example; the azores high shows its face for the first time and the models are already taking the mick.
  9. Those easterners have had it good over the last few weeks I'd say.
  10. You've had a "get out of summer free card" over the last month. Should count yourself lucky.
  11. That's the first milestone, yeah. Counting down the days until I'm no longer woken at 3 am by birds.
  12. Very true. Having said that, I've seen people in my neck of the woods still in winter coats... Wish I knew their secret.
  13. Its no more irritating than weather presenters smiling at the prospects of 18c nights. That makes no sense either.
  14. Not my fault that those conditions are so hard to achieve.
  15. More like 2 weeks. In that I mean that the days were warm, but the nights cooled off. That stopped over a fortnight ago and the nights started getting a lot warmer (not to mention humid). Unless conditions can provide warm days (and by that I mean a max of 24) but cool nights, then I'd rather it rain.
  16. Anyone know of a doctor that's willing to put me into an induced coma for the next 12-15 weeks?
  17. As far as the UK is concerned, seaweed and a farmer's almanac are by far the most useful Seriously though, I find weatherunderground to be pretty accurate for my area at least.
  18. Means are easily skewed by extreme members one way or the other. Even more so in low res.
  19. Actually had a rumble of thunder before! Lasted for about 3 seconds.
  20. Simple really: if they made little of it and places flooded, their heads would be on pikes. They're basically covering their backsides.
  21. the closest you'll get to thunder in the nw is if a neighbour knocks their bins over all at once.
  22. You're twisting my words. I never said that they were excited at the "life and death" of people. I said I didn't understand how they got excited at *conditions* that can and have led to that. Those are two different things. To me at least.
  23. you're the one who jumped in and started this "argument" my friend. And ironically I wasn't the one to bring up the rains in the first place.
  24. Each to their own if that's how you get your jollies, but I don't understand how anyone can find excitement or joy in something that harms other people. These floods and storms have claimed lives just as they did during the easterly in february.
  25. Well tell that to the people who've been flooded out of their homes. Be thankful you're not one of them. Going to leave it at that before the mods have a tizzy.
