  1. Yeah, really depends where you are. I’m strictly talking about the south east though (Cambridge). I’d say it’s approaching 2018 territory (2018 started in June but ended earlier at the start of August). I’d say it has been drier than even 2018 here, but has been slightly less consistent (poor patch at the end of July, and June was very average) On the other hand, we didn’t have a record breaker in 2018. I still think it lags behind 2018 overall, but is easily the best aside from that year since 1976. 2013,2006,2003, 1995 and 1983 were all largely one month pony’s. Sustained periods of settled, dry and warm weather such as this are very very rare
  2. This Summer still hasn’t surpassed 2018 for me, but it’s close. I’d say it’s second to 2018 since 1976. If it stays like this until the end of August though, it would have claims as the second best since 1976 or at least tied with 2018
  3. Can I bottle this heat to take it to winter when I’m paying £400 a month for energy please…thanks. Say what you want about this summer, but it’s been lovely and we even have a very rare nice August to boot. Winter is going to come hideously this year. Weather and money wise
  4. I understand people have different weather preferences but I must say how nice it is to have a prolonged summer, and a very rare nice August. I will also say this….people will be crying for this weather come the winter when they’re using all their salaries to pay for gas….just saying
  5. It's very dry here in the SE, and has been for some time now. There aren't many days where I bump into rain when outside, which while obviously can get problematic for water levels if very prolonged, is actually nice to experience in the UK as frequent rain depresses the hell out of me. I wouldn't say it's quite on 2018 levels, but it's mighty close. But, like 2018, the trend will be reversed in time, and no doubt we will pay back for it in a big way. Hopefully that is in Autumn/Winter rather than August and September. Mother nature always compensates for it, it's just a matter of time.
  6. You're in Dorset...it's hardly surprising. It's very difficult to even break 30c there.
  7. Warmest July was 19.8c CET. Given we're at around 18c now (12th warmest) it's not impossible we could beat 19.8c, but we really would need a reload next week and virtually no days under 22/23c. It's possible, but I think it'll be short. Just don't see the end of July being quite warm enough, for all it's been very extreme recently. I think it'll end up somewhere around the 19c mark. 0.2-0.3 below 2018, but still in the top five. It's hard to judge though. The next record I want to see go is our first 20c CET month. We can do it this month, but would be a tall order.
  8. Azores high is my big friend at this time of year. Just give me a nice long, dry , warm and sunny Summer and I won't complain about the garbage in Autumn and Winter.
  9. That generally doesn't happen in this country though. It's either very dry, or peeing it down most days. Once the Atlantic has hold, you'll generally end up firmly on the wet/cool side. I'm not adverse to rain, but don't like the Atlantic in Summer. Given the choice, I'd rather keep the rain low and the grass yellow. Bags of time to top-up rainfall levels from October to March/April.
  10. Preferences. I don't knock people who think the opposite. But for me, it was a special day. Such low humidity with high heat is so so rare, and I'll probably be able to count on one hand the amount of times a day like today will happen in my life. Actually, I have seen many people saying they enjoyed today due to the low humidity.
  11. It really was exceptional. One of those days you'll always remember, and I'll miss it.
  12. I think positively. It's looking like there isn't going to be a big breakdown, which usually sends us back into a cycle of Atlantic muck. I know people wish for rain/storms after a hot spell, but they usually come at the cost of weeks of dross after. Of course we could do with a drop of rain, but at least it's remaining stable, so there's a reasonable chance of a reload/continuation of settled and warm weather.
  13. This, this. Dryness isn't the only metric to a good summer of course, but if the grass is yellow/brown, you can be fairly sure you've had a good summer/prolonged spell. Bold green grass in Summer is a no no.
  14. Still not a cloud in sight in Haverhill, Suffolk. Well above 30c still.
