  1. How can it be wet, yet sunny? This implies that virtually all the rain/snow will fall at night, while the days will be sunny! My own opinion, for what it's worth, is for a dry, & dull month, with temps gradually recovering from the presently abnormal levels, to something about average by month's end, eg 7C. I'm hoping that 2009 will be a much drier, sunnier, & warmer year for Britain, then any we have seen so far this century, which has given us such rubbish so far. At least, the g/w conspirators have been made to look extremely foolish, and about time too Happy New year from Derek. XXX
  2. Actually, I think your comment is a bit unfair! 1949 was one of the finest spring/summers of the century, certainly in the top 5. The other 4 were: 1947, 1959, 1975, & 1976. I agree it is surprising that 13/6/ has never exceeded 30C. in the UK, but the second week in June is seldom warm I find. June used to boast the highest temps of the summer quite frequently up until about 1976, but these days the highest temps come much later on. Certainly safe for this year! My prediction for the rest of the month is: it will gradually warm up again, as winds bend back to west, then south-west, with the Azores high re-asserting itself. Last week in June should be very nice indeed, with temps 25C+ over most of England & Wales That's my prediction anyway, lol.
  3. Very interesting! However,callme old-fashioned, but why cant we have " normal" summers like 1975,76etc.? These were dry,sunny,& warm throughout,especially 1975. Everybody would benefit, and the ground would have a chance to dry out a bit.Surely with G/W every summer should be dry,warm & sunny.......but sadly it seems to be the reverse of that What do you think!? Regards, Derek.
  4. Drought!!! There will NEVER be drought in England again, of that I can assure you :o Personally, I find it obscene that we should have to live in a swamp all year round with never a break from the incessant rain. I'm old enough to remember more normal years, around 1990, when rainfall was far lower than today, yet we all managed perfectly well. Sunshine amounts were much higher then, & ppl's health was much better, no stinking Norovirus every year as at present, cos of the never ending rain & lack of sun. 1975 & 76 up till 10/9/76, were almost idyllic, fine, sunny, dry for months on end, far better than the onions we have to put up with today. The danger is, not that our reservoirs will ever run out, but will ppl literally be flooded out of living where they are, as our rainfall gets wetter & wetter with every passing year? :o
  5. Sorry, but I have to disagree with you! Last Dec( just gone), was the coldest over most of England & Wales since 1981. Here in Manchester, there were 12 days of constantly below normal temps, up to the 22nd. Hardly normal, & by the way, the muppet on here said Dec. would be dry, sunny & mild on his monthly f/cast, Chris, somebody or other....... It wasnt dry, 5" + of rain in Manchester, sunshine was at a premium only about 50 hours, & only 1 day reached double figures & that was only a miserable 10C. If our climate was really getting milder than every day would see temps of 7C+, with at least 10 days into double figures. It's my opinion that our wretched climate is getting worse & worse.....ie. more rain, wind & dullness every year. What would be wrong with a decent high over Biscay, English Channel & N.France of 1050+ millibars lasting for 3 months or so. Some people might not like it, but the death rate for hypothermia would be neglible, & I bet the NHS would be in heaven. As it is, we have so many viruses in winter, cos it NEVER stops raining, which makes our atmosphere extremely unhealthy. |As for our summers, forget it. 2007 was a travesty, & this year will be even worse. It will only be a matter of time before we have years where it rains every day :wacko: Nowhere else in the world has to put up with this.....
  6. 16C. Incidentally, how on earth do u post a new message on here!!! Anyone know please :lol:
  7. Sorry, but you will find the intense storm of 25th. Jan, 1990, considerably worse. 16/10/87, killed around 17 ppl, but the 1990 storm killed 46, as it was spread over a far wider area, all of England & Wales, + S. Scotland were affected. The wind blew for longer & more sustained speed than '87, & lasted for hours. I was living in London at time, & it lasted from around 10Am-6Pm, with the peak gusts around 4Pm, of 70-80mph. Enormous damage was done, yet it was bright & sunny throughout! Wind direction was W. veering N.W. during a/n, as an intense depression moved rapidly east over the Scots borders & out into the North Sea. 1989 storm was feeble by comparison & only affected the far west of Wales & Ireland I'm not expecting any big storms this winter, by the way, lol.
  8. About 100/1. I do not think England will ever see a white Christmas again, by that I mean either snow falling & settling, or lying snow. A shame, I know, especially for the kids, but that is the way it is. My own guess is it will be dry, cloudy & mild with an anticyclone across Biscay & N. France with temps averaging 10C. In fact, I believe the whole winter will be dry, cloudy & mild, similiar to 1988/9, i.e. a half decent winter
  9. Are you crazy!!! What fog & what sun. As for temps. being above average, you're having a laugh. You're f/cast is total rubbish, nothing like reality. It's actually dull, dry, chilly & breezy with temps abnormally cold for time of year. It will improve (can't physically get worse), but please take a little more care & try looking out the window for once......it really does help.
  10. No doubt there will be dire warnings of a terrible winter, which they manage to say every year, yet never have the guts to apologise when somehow or other......surprise, surprise they get it completely & utterly wrong. Personally, I think it will be dry, mild but cloudy with very light winds in the main, something akin to 1988/9. i.e. a decent winter or as near decent as you can get in this country All this never ending rain & cold is what kills so many folk here, so it would be nice for Nature to behave itself for once & give us a " normal" winter. Here's hoping!!!
  11. How can it be sunny & raining at same time!!! Anyway, just thought I'd add my comments, lol. Here, in Manchester, it was fine till around 2PM, nice & bright with some sun, but v. windy ( Force 6- , easily windiest day since March here. Became cloudy, stayed dry till 5PM, then heavy driving rain & v. dark for approx. 45 mins. as cold front moved rapidly overhead. Sky breaking nicely now, & wind has dropped rapidly (only Force 3) I dont like strong winds at this time of year! Nice when the front clears rapidly like this; this week shouldbe OK, with improving weather yet again as week goes on...........still think Sept. will be a decent month.
  12. If G/W doesnt mean everywhere is getting warmer, then why call it global warming :blink: really, none of you ppl know what you're talking about. On here, the f/cast last Thurs (6/9), said the anticyclone to the west of Britain would move steadily east, meaning temps would go up, sun would be plentiful & by early next week (10/9) temps would be 27-29C in south, & 25C in North. very nice you might think, only he got it completely I have a problem about face! The wretched high is still to the west of Ireland, & it's pulling in increasingly cooler, cloudier air, with the result that nowhere in England will exceed 20C on Mon, & most places will only be about 17-18C....a far cry from what was forecast. My point is: you cant even get a simple thing like a quiet anticyclonic spell anywhere near correct for only a few days ahead, so how the hell can u forecast months/years in advance. Global warming doesnt exist, full stop. if it did, our climate would be far better than it is now. eg. more sun, warmth, & drier, instead of this rubbish we in England have to suffer every year & eachg year sees a deteoriation in climate too. The climate in the 1970's was far superior in every way to this 21st. cent travesty of a climate. see if u can pick the bones out of this.........
  13. Well, I'm afraid I cant agree with you on that score at all Surely, our climate is far too wet & stormy for anyone with even a modicum of interlligence to seriously suggest that the British climate is anything than 2 sandwiches short of a picnic. Personally, I find the Canaries have an excellent climate, nice & warm/dry all year round with low rainfall & humidity....very healthy! Furthur afield, I would suggest the Chilean desert, virtually unbroken sun & heat all year round, extremely healthy, compared to Britain. As we have had the wettest summer EVER with ppl killed, I would have thought that our climate was anything, but benign
  14. Well, I'm not sure what the CET will be, but bearing in mind this has been the WORST summer ever known for much of England & Wales, I would say that a fairly decent September looks to be in the offing: i.e. warmer, drier, & much sunnier than normal From exp. I have found that poor summers tend to be followed by much improved autumns 1978 being a case in point. Incidentally, you dont say how wet Sept. will be. All the so called " experts" seem to think it will be wetter & cooler than normal, but why this should be I dont know......more a case of wishful thinking I think! Anyway, I predict a lovely autumn, the best since !978 if u can remember. It would be a small gesture from Nature after this appalling travesty of a summer I'll be int. to see what anyone else thinks.
  15. As we are enduring the WORST summer everknown in England & Wales, I thought I might like to put the record straight. The thought of a severe winter is nothing more than wishful thinking by misguided people. I firmly believethat we willhave adry& mild winter: similiar to 88/89,but better :o And why not, it would be about time. Incidentally, if the f/cast by Mr. Giles is anywhere near correct, then surely the idea of Britain's weather getting warmer,must be the greatest modern myth of all time! The climate cannot behave like scum all the time,so sooner or later it will improve......it cannot do anything otherwise.
  16. [ Strange that the figures should only be given less than half way thru Jul!!! It is already the wettest 3 month period EVER known for England- proof indeed that the climate in this country is in terminal decline. The fact is the climate will never improve to the levels seen during the middle period of the 20th. cent. when warm, dry, sunny summers, & indeed, other seasons were the norm. By 2025 most of England will be uninhabitable, due to vast areas of land being submerged. This is not difficult to foresee, indeed one can accurately f/cast the climate for at least 100 years ahead. Also, the myth that our climate is becoming ever warmer has been totally exploded this year, with average temps for England & Wales, way below the norm one would expect. Proof indeed, that global warming is just a fairy tale. Sorry to be so downbeat, but there it is. By the end of the year, you will be thanking me.
  17. Undoubtedly. But what is the interesting question is: why is the climate degenerating so rapidly over England? What about these so-called "experts", who keep on saying Britain's climate is getting warmer,drier,& sunnier each year? Yet it's exactly the reverse: we have more cloud, rain, & lower temps every year, & it's steadily getting worse. Anyone old enough to remember lovely years like 1975/76, will knopw how far the climate has deteoriated in the last 30 years. Personally, I think we will NEVER experience a normal summer,or even year again, it will always be wet from now on, until eventually most of England sinks beneath the onslaught, with huge loss of life by around 2025. Nowhere else in the world has such consistently bad climate as England now, & the Gov't needs to address this & fast, otherwise there is no future.
