WYorksWeather I wouldn't bet against it, even at that range!

What was unusual about August 2020 was that it was introduced immediately behind an active warm front, so the air was very, very warm from the outset - no gradual heating up from near-normal temps.
Very high DP and humidity the whole time. The change from moderate rain to clear blue skies on Aug 6th was plain bizarre.
As it happened, the afternoon of Aug 6th was the best period of the whole spell. Most days after that were rather hazy with some mid-level cloud in addition to the heat and the humidity. Mon 10th and Tues 11th were better.
A rather peculiar month was August 2020. The second half went on to be cool and unsettled/stormy at times.

Definitely warmer this evening and certainly feels like summer!
danm 2018 was ok for the most part ref to sleeping and 2022 wasn't too bad either.

richie3846 I do indeed remember the heatwave in August 2022 and although I found it to be rather oppressive, it was far more comfortable than August 2020. However, to be fair I was in a different part of the country then!

Summer8906 Yes, no worries!
The second week of August 2020 was awful and the worst I've known for being oppressive!

Just to confirm. Is 2024's Summer going to be hotter than 2023? Is it going to be very long weeks of heatwaves with nights being impossible to sleep through?

Of course 4 weeks is a long way out, but I'd be mega peeved if the troughing hasn't sodded off by then
A bit like you are during most winters?!

I hope this summer has loads of plumey scenarios, very much like we got in 2019 and last year.
I don't, plumes are far too fierce these days!

Went for a nice walk this evening and still warm enough for shorts and t-shirt. As I said earlier, if it were to be like this all summer, I would be happy. Warm sunny days and evenings and then comfortable nights for sleeping. Win win!!

cheese Absolutely, enjoy the weather while it lasts and not worry about next week!

Nice sunny and warm afternoon here. This would do me all summer with none of that 30C plus heat/humidity!

Another good day, albeit a little hazy currently. Hopefully that will burn off for this afternoon!

Josh Rubio looks great!
Another warm and largely sunny day, albeit hazy at times. Think the milk bottles will be making an appearance for the first time this year tomorrow!

WYorksWeather An outside chance but nothing can be ruled out!

Had a week's holiday in Cornwall in August 1984 and the weather was absolutely stunning with wall to wall sun every day and not a drop of rain !

After a rather cloudy start, this afternoon has been much brighter. No rain since Friday evening!

We missed a great opportunity in 2008 to beat 1833 and certainly to record a 14C+ May.
Seems like there may be another opportunity this year- especially if the latest GFS run is anything to go by.
It's likely to happen sooner or later, possibly this year!

A very nice few days here since Saturday and pleasantly warm too. I even caught the sun during the long weekend!

damianslaw Could it be a similar story for the coming summer i.e. wet and dull but also very warm and humid?! If so it most certainly won't be fondly remembered by me! That said, it could also be a hot and dry summer with relatively low humidity but the concern is the warm SST's to our south west will work against us for that?
-
*Stormforce~beka* Yes, after a brief sunny interval this afternoon, cloud soon returned. However, tonight you've guessed it, the skies are starry!

danm Yes, not much sign of low pressure 'locking in' for the long term!
