No 49C this year. I’m going to say a max of 36-37C

What has caused the poor weather in the past 6 months or so? From my knowledge it’s down to El Niño mostly.

Summer8906 I recall August 2019 as being a very non descript month. It was a drier and sunnier version of August 2023 for my area. Not a bad month at all it’s no July 2018 or August 2022 but not a July 2023 ether. It really seems your area suffers under SWlys.(SWlys here antent great ether unless it’s anticyclonic as heck) Out of curiosity how does your area fare under a straight westerly I’d guess slightly better given more land to your west.

Vile horrid day. 4c and cold rain and high ground near me getting snow flurries. This set up even a month earlier would have brought snow. At least modems seem to go for something warmer and drier medium term so fingers crossed this hapoens

Hello am I reading the charts wrong? GFS 12 doesn’t look terrible next week after the low dips down to Iberia meaning the U.K. is back under orange below that black line.

Fine and partly sunny day here but it’s freaky cold for this time of year. This is why I hate a late season SSW. They always end up bringing northern blocking which is the deathknell for spring warmth as they tend to result in northerlies

April hasn’t been a dumpster fire here. Only the first week was truly poor but since has been a pretty meh and forgettable month.Some sunnier and nicer days with some overcast and cold days. All in I’d give this April a 4/10. Lack of any true warm or sustained sunshine keeps it in the low-mediocre range.

After a lovely Satuday with wall to wall sunshine and cloudy but dry and usable Sunday Monday is vile so far with 4c and drizzle. Bugger off northern blocking don’t come back until November. Cold wet northerlies are

What are some synoptic set ups that are good certain times of the year but bad at others? Bartletts pop to mind, in summer they are good bringing hot anticyclonic southerlies (2018 and 2022 both strike me as Bartlett summers) but while not the worse set up in winter given that it at least can keep Atlantic lows at bay it’s the deathknell for any snow/cold.

11.8 and 70mm

Overcast and drizzly morning but started brightening up about an hour ago. April so far I would give a 3.5/10 a pretty meh month with no real heat,sustained sunshine or exciting weather and the first week was very poor but also many usable days. Not a month cursed to bogey man status but not a month that will be remembered fondly ether.

Lovely day here sunny and warm. Feels like a drug trip for real after the past 6 months of cloud rain and wind!

On another note I hope we are leaving the wet pattern we’ve had since October. GFS this morning has nothing terrible looking apart from a brief cut off low but that’s in far FI.

As a climate fan I shall give my thoughts. I’d say around 2200 a year. On par with a Balkans climate. Although even with non inflated sunshine figures Boston has impressively sunny winters for a wet coastal climate at 42N.
-
The past 6 months has been pretty much the same with 80% of days being 8-12c and raining. The Atlantic weather has been nonstop since October.

2013 and 2018 pop to mind for me.

Met office going for sunny spellls while BBC going for non stop rain the coming week. March has been pretty meh not terrible but pretty blah with no real early settled warmth but not a hellish washout ether. I’d give it a 3/10.
-
This March so far is diet Marxh 2023. Not quite as wet and gloomy with more usable days but pretty meh still.

cheeky_monkey Bad timing with todays rainband my eastern counterpart. We had your rain yesterday it seems it was awful yesterday :P.

Today is a great weather day. Theres no rain and the clouds are light grey rather than dark grey. I know normally a pretty meh day but a bright cloudy day with no rain feels like heaven after weeks of neverending rain!

East Lancs Rain
Flagstaff in Arizona seems to fit that profile pretty well. (American weather stations overestimate sunshine hours by 10-15% I would estimate 2900-3000 a year)

Felt spring like today with 15c and sunshine. T shirt and jeans weather for me hiking wise. What I don’t get is why folks are still dressing like it’s a Jan cold snap in Winnipeg.

I’ve had enough of rain and drizzle! Just go take a hike! Can’t do anything in it and it’s just a damper on everything unless you are a duck or moss.

Any ideas what’s caused the Atlantic onslaught the past 6 months or so? I’m gonna guess El Niño firing the jet up
Will 2024 have the new hottest day on record for the uk?

Summer8906 Had to look at Met Office amomly maps as both summers were very beign and forgettable which means for me not outstanding but not terrible ether. 2020 is slightly worse of the two being wetter and cloudier overall while 2015 is a very bog standard summer average rain and sun but slightly cooler than average. I’d agree with you on wind direction.
