Its also great that the mid latitude North Pacific still has a -ve PDO profile with relatively warm waters near Asia and cold waters near North America which will also help keep El Nino in check in addition to making the Polar Front Jetstream more amplified. http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sst_anom.html

The last month to be 2C below average Ukmoose was May 1996 with a CET of of only 9.1C.

Hi fozi999 according to http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/climon/data/tgrid/1962 the sst anomalies in November 1962 led to a very negative NAO in the very cold winter 1962-1963. Crucially both November 1962 and winter 1962-1963 featured a near average high lattitude North Atlantic combined with very warm +1-2C anomalies in the central mid latitude North Atlantic offset by very cold -1-2.5 anomalies in the western and eastern 3rds of the mid latitude North Atlantic. There was also cold -1C anomalies in the north sea surrounding the UK. The atmospheric response to the near average High Latitude North Atlantic and the cold Greenland and northern Europe areas was a deep blocking high. The atmospheric response to the cold western mid latitude North Atlantic-warm Central mid latitude North Atlantic-cold Eastern mid latitude north Atlantic was a western trough-central ridge-eastern trough pattern in the mid latitude North Atlantic. Crucially the the upper level trough and cold temperatures in the eastern mid latitude North Atlantic extended into the Mediterranean and western Europe.

Mr Data I wonder how many cool summers have had above average sunshine?

20C

I wonder how close to the Equator sub 10C maximum temperatures have been recorded at sea level locations in high summer? I suspect it would probably be a close toss between northern New England in North America which has the cold Labrador current washing its shores, or coastal eastern Siberia in Asia by the cold Sea of Okhotsk or southern Patagonia in South America surrounded by the cold Southern Ocean.

Our summers might be getting wetter but that doesn't mean they'll be getting colder. Indeed this July will be the six consecutive month above the 1961-1990 average this year. there hasn't been any particular cool maximum temperatures or even cool minimum temperatures this July so far! Since 1993 the only summers to have a seasonal CET even slightly below the 1961-1990 average were the summers of 1998 and 2007 both at 15.2C.

Cold all year round for me. i hate heat mush whether its summer or winter.

Global warming is back business as usual. 20C for July 2009

15.5C for May 2009

It isnt unprecedented for August and October. The top 2 warmest Augusts were both in the mid 1990s:- 1) August 1995 19.2C CET 2) August 1997 18.9C CET The top 3 warmest Octobers have occured in the 6 years from 2001 to 2006:- 1) October 2001 13.3C CET 2) October 2005 13.1C CET 3) October 2006 13C CET

I wonder if that is the biggest cool down between the 1st and 2nd C.E.T halves in April on recored?

What is the highest near surface air temperature that can allow hail to accumulate as a cover on the ground?

11.5C

What is the latest ever date that a final warming event has occured in the Stratosphere?

My birthday 14/7/86 was a hot day within the cold summer of 1986 - http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/archive/...00119860714.gif

10C CET for March 2009

Since the Azores High is a deep warm pool perhaps its unusual persistence near our shores as cold patterns are emerging is due to heat being displaced from lower latitudes in the North Atlantic caused by the deep eastern seaboard cold spells?
