stainesbloke Could’ve been 2007 or 2011, although the latter wasnt sunny. Here’s 2009: Meteociel - Climatologie mensuelle de London / Heathrow (UK) ( United Kingdom ) WWW.METEOCIEL.FR Résumé mensuel des observations météo ( températures minimales et maximales, précipitations et ensoleillement) de la station...

Bristawl Si Need to de grime my patio but it needs 2 days of guaranteed dry after so, of course, haven’t done it yet and I’m going away next week!
-
Scorcher Oh yeah defo. Must be grim up on the moors and the coasts especially.
-
Scorcher around the time of that map it was actually 16°C here, not the 14 shown, so it’s not been tooooo bad. Getting very dull now though.
-
stainesbloke In London? I think it was recently warm that month in London without ever being overly hot. Lots of southwesterly winds so humid air. The final weekend was much fresher though following a gale on the 28th.
-
SunSean You’re being plagued by cloud going up the east coast and I’m being plagued by cloud up the west coast. Sunny intervals though and although windy, the air is quite warm.
-
danm ECM was quite keen on higher pressure and sunshine this weekend. A number of websites like XC and yr.no also showed fine warm weather over the weekend. Not such now.
-
Must admit I was expecting worse here this weekend. Most of the rain came last night, and didn't even leave 5mm. It's been dry all day during daylight hours today and now the sun is sort of out with blue sky more visible to the west. Still chilly in that wind though!
-
sunny_vale and 2022 was pretty good after mid March.
-
Foul out there so far. Grey, drizzly and cold! -
Penrith Snow Not a problem. I think anyone of sane mind knows we will not evolve into a Mediterranean climate anytime soon…
-
Penrith Snow The sarcasm was lost on you I see…
-
In Absence of True Seasons Oh yeah definitely, if we’ve had a stinker spring and/or summer then nice weather come Sept/Oct it does feel a bit wasted. Definitely felt that a bit in late Sept and early October 2008… Likewise cold in March and April after a naff winter.
-
In Absence of True Seasons Any good weather in September I would welcome with open arms given it’s in the Atlantic half of the year. Anything to delay the onset of the depressing season.
-
Good to see a greening of the Iberian peninsula following the abundance of cool wet weather down there so far this year.
-
*Stormforce~beka* It’s not as simple as that. You’ve got to consider airmass source, high or low pressure, time of year etc.
-
danm Indeed, although convective infill isn’t a feature of winter months.
-
danm We'll have to agree to disagree then, but it's a well known issue. Same in summer. High pressure but with cool upper air often sees infill problems. When the upper air warms up with pressure still high, you'll often get cloudless conditions.
-
danm Sure, the centre was, but pressure was still very high over most of the UK. We need to get rid of the cold upper air. The weekend's set up with 850s of say 5-10 would've been much sunnier nationwide.
-
danm I think even more so we need warmer upper air. Pressure was around 1025-1030mb over the weekend but central England eastwards saw a lot of infill after clear starts. Brilliant sunshine here in the West Country though.
-
baddie It’s more down to the air source. You can get the same effect in winter months but obviously it’s a lot colder. That said, I’ve also seen some pretty stunning sunsets from Atlantic sourced setups.
-
*Stormforce~beka* A very dull month, but more a dress rehearsal for July onwards… both May and June had over 250 hours here.
-
TwisterGirl81 Since last June!
-
baddie Much better air quality from the south round to the northeast. Deeper blue sky and stronger sun but generally more boring sunrises and sunsets
-
raz.org.rain I must caveat my post with the fact that there was plenty mediocre westerly naffness between those charts… but 1-2 weeks of solid summer every month with episodes of less settled is definitely preferable to all our summer coming in June and for five minutes in August and September like last year!
