My perfect year would go as follows: Spring: Gradual warm up. March: Cold & snowy with a few mild spells ( March 2006 would have been spot on but there was a lack of snow and cold) April: Gradual warm up, from the low teens, to the high teens, and a mixed bag weather wise. ( April 2006 ) May: Warm and sunny with a few spring thunderstorms, and no Euro monsoon. ( May 2004, i dont think there was one that year) Summer: Mainly very warm & thundery. June: very warm & sunny with frequent spanish plumes (abit like the last fortnight of June 2005, but lasting all month) July: Same as June but abit warmer. temps in the mid-high 20's. ( a slightly cooler version of last year) August: Really hot & sunny, temps in the 30's, before turning slightly cooler, with thunder at the end. ( August 2003/95 ) Autumn: Vise versa of Spring Gradual cool down September: Warm Sunny spells alternating with wet and breezy spells, and the odd thunderstorm. ( Sept 2005) October: Mild wet & windy ( Oct 2005) November: Mild start but turning cooler with some decent snow, ( Nov 2005 ) Winter: Basically a Winter we'll never experiance...again 62/63 is very much spot on. December: Cool and sunny temps in single figures, turning very cold for xmas with heavy snow and continuing into new year (Dec 2005 was close but wasnt as cold nor did we have any snow) Janurary: Cold and sunny with frequent snow spells, temps struggling into single figures. February: Real winter, very cold temps struggling to get just above freezing and snow and blizzards gallore.
