  1. Feels like a loooooooooooooong October this year with the morbidly intense overcast and frequent rain since early July going on and on without remitt. Not a complaint so much as an observation. Just doesn't seem like there's been a summer this year. Straight into Autumn after the two weeks of sun in June. Weird sensation. Bit like being a woodlouse hanging out under some soil or a rock.

  2. Basis of this thread: This comes from a discussion on a foreign weather forum, where people are discussing whether British people find 25°C hot or not. So, it's a simple "yes" or "no" poll.

    This isn't about judging anybody or anything of that sort, a basic questionnaire so I can get as many answers as possible in the poll as I'm collecting data.

  3. Surprised one of the biggest weather forums has no thread for end of month summaries, so I made one for all the summaries of the month.

    Anyway this is the data for SE Sheffield, June 2023

    Max Temperature: 29.4°C (12th)

    Avg. Max Temp: 22.0°C

    Mean Temp: 16.9°C

    Avg. Min Temp: 11.9°C

    Min Temperature: 7.2°C (4th)

    Lowest Max Temp: 13.2°C (6th)

    Highest Min Temp: 17.5°C (24th)

    Total precipitation: 57.1mm

    Days equal or >1.0mm: 2 (18th, 20th)

    Days rain inc. trace: 15

    Sun hours: 206.6

    Days with thunder heard: 2 (12th, 18th)

    Days with hailstorm: 1 (18th)

    Comments: East winds and cool first 9 days. 10th-25th milder than average with a few warm days and the odd convection. Cool and showery end.

     

  4. In SE Sheffield a cell arrived about 5:30PM, with moderate steady rain at first and regular thunder; then it went nuts just before 6PM with intense rainfall (200mm/hr instantaneous rainfall rates), and near white out conditions with swathes of rain blowing on the wind, and areas of water pooling on the ground outside. Lightning was often visible despite seeming to be mostly intra-cloud. This cell saw the rain rate start to subside only to get a new wind and get even heavier with brief hail stones. Then it lightened off and there was still moderate rain with intermittent visible lightning and louder sounding thunder but not as often. Then it died out into light rain for a while. This was the second overhead storm of the year and second on 18th June.
