Been a very decent day here. Not always wall to wall sunshine but very pleasant and was fine in a t-shirt on my walk.

Definitely and a great day to get out and about! Tomorrow is looking similar.

I remember Atlantic 252 no GFS is not wrong.

raz.org.rain Nope, colder and wetter than average now all the way to December, when a big old Bartlett sets up to give record breaking warmth!

damianslaw My guess is certainly looking better than it was a week or so ago!

lassie23 Felt like it yesterday, combined with the wind, but at least it was bright and sunny!

B87 I suppose with August 1998 coming so soon after 1995 and with the previous August being the 2nd hottest on record, perhaps I'm not giving it as much credit it deserves?!

SunnyG If so, it's arrived too late!

August 1998 was dry and very sunny, but nobody would consider 1998 to be a good summer after the absolute shambles of June and July.
August 1998 wasn't anything out of the ordinary really, better than June and July, but not outstanding. Spring 2018 obviously wasn't great overall for warm seekers, but nor was it awful either with a few days of near record breaking heat in April and May was pretty exceptional all the way.

B87 For variety, spring 2018 was excellent with something for both cold and heat lovers. However, even for those who dislike cold, May made up for at least some of what March and April lacked. It seems to me that some are only focusing on poor periods during seasons, i.e. June and September last year seemingly ignored?
I don't know of many cold seekers who claim winter 2010/11 was awful because following that brutal December, January 2011 was unremarkable and February very mild? Cold and snow was largely done for that winter after Boxing Day, but what occurred previously made it memorable!

Metwatch Yes, it was pretty impressive how it almost went from winter to summer in a flash! Spring 2018 is certainly one I will always remember.

Wade April 2018 had a hot spell and May was a very summery month, so I wouldn't call spring 2018 poor.

raz.org.rain There you go, just shows how unlikely it would be (particularly in this day and age) not to reach 25C during summer, in fact I would go as far to say it would be virtually impossible now?!

iand61 I would bite ones arm off for a winter 2020/21 repeat! I remember the morning the day the pub's reopened outside, there was a little snow where I was at the time, but most of all was sitting outside that evening at the pub, which was a challenge to say the least! The patio heaters were not up to the job!

Too ruddy cold for that Ted!
Oh sorry, just that I thought with you having wind, you may have wanted to open the windows!

Not sure you can say they're overrated temperature wise, no matter how brief?!!

Can't see us hitting 25 degrees this year.
I'll be absolutely staggered if we don't!
I think we will hit 25C during the 2nd half of May.

Squally77 When I sat out in the pub garden in the sun, it was actually very pleasant and didn't need a coat. However, I had one with me as it soon got cold once the sun went down!
