Looks very dark out to the west at the moment. I don’t think we will get any storms but I think some in the West Midlands might! -
Absolutely stunning forecast Finally a summery spell that pretty much the whole of northwest Europe can enjoy (even Iceland)!

Summer 2023 Maximum Temperature - HeatWatch
TheOgre replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I’m going for 35C at some point in July. Even though it has become more common as of late, above 37C is still extremely hot for this country and I don’t think should be expected every year. -
As much as next week looks great, there’s a terrifying GFS chart for the week after Hoping it doesn’t come off!
-
I don’t think I can ever recall such a long run of dispersed cold dry days in late May or June before. Last year’s jubilee Sunday was cold but it was raining, 2019 had a few cold days but again it was rainy.
-
I can’t wait for the weekend’s warmer spell and for this anticyclonic gloom to end. I don’t even care if it brings a bit of rain, just anything to get rid of this spring like chill!!
-
Somehow it’s managed to be even worse than yesterday here topping out at just 12.1C. Very dank and dreary out too.
-
God this is depressing! When is it going to warm up? 13C and cloud and it’ll probably be like it all week, let’s be honest. It’s like we’re being punished for last year’s warmth or something!
-
Another thing, I know I shouldn’t moan as it’s still looking good but I’m disappointed with the forecast now. It was looking like a hot start to June but now looks just sunny with average or bit above days and cold nights again!
-
I’m highly surprised by people making the comparison to 2018 or 2020 after the very wert and rather dull first half of May! Also whilst it’s been nice and sunny out there for days, temperature wise it’s not been that much above average round here.
-
Nicest day since last September at least. Not a single cloud in the sky!
-
Fantastic day today after a dull start!
-
Hit 21C today! Overcast afternoon though but still decent for May. After a thundery and very wet start, this May is starting to look quite benign.

Looks rubbish for tomorrow’s coronation It’s was terrible on the Jubilee Sunday last year and was one of the few periods of bad weather in spring/summer in 2022. The jubilee in 2012 was also a washout. And I’ve heard but might be wrong but the 1953 coronation and 1977 jubilee were washouts too!?
-
Hot first weekend, rest of the month meh. Not a bad September but there’s no Septembers that stuck out as terrible other than 2017 which I used for August.

January 2014 February 2022 March 2019 (unremarkable but nothing left) April 2012 May 2021 June 2016 July 2020 August 2017 September 2018 October 2013 (unremarkable but nothing left) November 2011 (don’t remember but had to put somewhere) December 2015 March, October and November are the hardest because I don’t expect anything from these months.
-
If we had a classic summer but with one terrible month would most people prefer: cool wet June, hot dry July/August hot dry June, cool wet July, hot dry August or hot dry June/July, cool wet August
-
I smelt petrichor for the first time today, a sure sign summer is on the way! Quite a pleasant day when the sun was out but rainy at times later.
-
Do you have these stats for 2022? That would be interesting.
-
What a borefest!! Other than a few springlike days around Valentines week and the March 8/9 snow event, 2023 is by far the most boring year of the decade so far!
-
Talking of all this dull weather, I wonder what it’s like to like somewhere like the Shetlands or Faroe Islands where weeks on end of dross is expected and there’s almost no chance of any warm weather at any time of the year? I know everyone has different preferences but surely the everyday people would find the summers up there truly trying!
-
What a revolting forecast for the rest of April. We better have a stonker of a May!!
-
2020-2021 was quite a cold one. We had 3 separate snow events in all three months here and January 2021 was definitely a cold month overall.
-
I’m getting fed up of any warmth being pushed further and further into FI.
-
If Monday ends up being as poor as forecasted it will the fourth time in a row where Easter Monday plunges colder and/or wetter. 2020 and 2022 both saw warm and sunny conditions Fri - Sun and turned much cooler on Monday and 2021 was quite cold but saw a pleasant Easter Sunday followed by a freezing Easter Monday with snow showers.
