  1. Exactly. Nobody expects the UK to suddenly transform into the Mediterranean. It is unusual for the weather to go from one extreme one year, to the very opposite in the very next. From one of the warmest Mays on record to possibly the coldest. That has to be pretty unusual within a short space of time.
  2. Me too, I'm like the coldies who go into hibernation in summer, but in reverse. I go into hibernation in summer when below average gunk slips into the woodwork and northern blockin patterns get established. I bet that no less do I forget about the weather, a sudden heatwave will appear out of nowhere.
  3. Garbage weather today, I am not an "anti rain" person either - I like rain, in showers and thunderstorms with mild or warm weather. Not all day drizzle with temperatures that would be more befitting of February in freakin' May. Hope this rubbish cold nonsense disappears and soon.
  4. Yeah south of the Midlands had some really good storms in late May last year but sadly they all missed northern England. I used to live in the South and had some good night time storms there though.
  5. Up here, July gets the most of this type of thing going by my records. In fact I've almost never seen storm overnight in June or August here.
  6. I hope it has a lot of thunderstorm activity. I haven't seen a proper thunderstorm since 2016. Don't care about really sunny dry weather like last year, though I like warmer than average conditions. Warm and convective would do nicely.
  7. 13:19 10°C, 60% humidity, scattered clouds. A bit on the cooler side but nothing unusual.
  8. Well bear in mind I'm new to looking into this sort of thing, so what is obvious to many here, is not to me, but I'm happy to learn.
  9. I find it hilarious how that low pressure system after the northerly just moves over the UK and then sits there going round and round in circles! I always used to think places like Scandinavia would get more low pressure than the UK in summer being further North but they actually get much sunnier warmer and drier weather than we do May-Sept. What makes the low pressure sit over the UK so much?
  10. Not been notably dry here. Last year was wetter than average, and Jan+Feb were quite dry, but these are months with low evaporation rates which were followed by a March with twice the normal rainfall. April did miss any significant precipitation, but this spring is only running slightly below average thanks to March, and May looks to easily make up for that.
  11. Winter: Mild, sunny and dry. Summer: Hot, humid and stormy with intense lightning storms and torrential rain on at least half the days.
  12. Today's cack! I mean it's the kind of weather even coldies despise in January, and in May it's just useless lol. The fact that hoardes of people were out enjoying themselves last May bank holiday but the few who can be bothered to go outside this weekend are bundled up in coats hats and scarves with an umbrella today says it all!
  13. I've lived in Northern England since 2003 and it is utterly pathetic for thunder! Maybe a decent storm once every 3-5 years and about 3-4 days with some rumbles a year on average. I get my storm fill from YouTube videos mostly, and also I watch the high quality webcams in places like Chicago, Dallas or New Orleans when they get big spring/summer thunderstorms. The two places I lived which actually got something resembling a "thunderstorm" once a year in the UK were Berkshire and Lincolnshire.
  14. It's days like this in May that make you realise how wonderful it is that alcohol was invented
  15. 14:28 6.6°C, 92% humidity, overcast. Beautiful warm spring day.
  16. Won't count but I'll go for a below average 11.2°C for temperature. Rain: 135% Sun: 89%
  17. Here in South Yorkshire, 00:58AM BST. 7.4°C, 94% humidity, overcast with drizzle in the vicinity. Pressure 1016, wind 2mph SE.
