You might be alright whilst you're flying at 35,000 feet above most clouds?! Destination, different matter!!

A few photos from the Sunday, taken where I used to live in Ash, Surrey.

I actually received a bit more snow from the 'mini' BFTE than the main event. Friday was very mild and sunny around 13C, but by Saturday morning, temperatures were close to zero with snow showers. Heavy snow was forecast for the afternoon and evening, but turned out to be mainly light, with the heavier stuff arriving during the early hours of Sunday morning. Sunday was cold and cloudy with temps barely above freezing and no thaw. There was a further period of snow during the evening. However, a thaw kicked in on Monday as temperatures recovered.

Polar Maritime mowed the lawn for the first time last weekend and needs doing again!

So, if we get a very cool and wet summer (highly unlikely), you won't mind me saying people are obsessed with hot weather when it comes to them looking for late summer warmth in September then?

What like the start of summer 2018?!

johncam April could be close to or a bit below average, but apart from that, no!

A pretty safe bet these days and it's not like we've had a cold start to the year. 2024 likely to be the third year on the trot to have a CET of more than 11C?!

Good news for some!

I can't stop thinking that had this same winter occurred just 10 years ago, it would have been cold and unsettled with the jet further south, due to lower heights over Iberia?

Yes, the upcoming Hurricane season could well be a whopper!

*Stormforce~beka* Yes and that's why I don't like very high temperatures in this country because bar the odd exception, they come with high humidity!

WYorksWeather at least we haven't had an Ice free summer Arctic yet!

*Stormforce~beka* 18 to 32C is bearable without high humidity!

*Stormforce~beka* It will be come June through to October but also very humid!

*Stormforce~beka* It will be warm all the way though!

I hope it fails to be hot this year, although it probably will be!

CC may well have over ridden the rapid transition from El Nino to La Nina = stronger probability of a washout summer? Time will tell I suppose......

*Stormforce~beka* nope, sun still more common than 5C!

*Stormforce~beka* Very!

It did, you're thinking of 2013!

Oh we will! Or maybe not as our planet morphs into Venus. At least it will be warm......

When?! The 5C bit I mean!

*Stormforce~beka* like snow you mean?!

What were you expecting, blue skies or something?!
