    Another spin-off from the high-pressure that some posters are so fond of: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2120988/Scorched-earth-smoke-surrounds-Welsh-town-arsonists-sparks-hill-fire.html They must be well pleased.

    Apparently this constant high pressure and clear blue skies are wonderful: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-17476597 I'll have to keep reminding myself.

    Afer a damp morning it has quickly turned into a great spring day dry with 4.5mm of rain already, which is now becoming increasingly sleety:48

    I remember how arrid and parched everywhere was looking by the end of July and everything was covered in dust. Thank goodness August rescued the situation just in time. We seem to be on a roll of cooler, cloudier summers, I hope it continues.

    Lets hope we don't have a "beer-garden" summer, or this will become very serious.

    Like the way he differentiates between climate scientists and proper ones: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100133247/children-just-arent-going-to-know-what-sun-is/

    "Not sitting out in a beer garden doesn't make a blind bit of difference to low river levels." If you're not sitting in it due to prolonged rainfall it does.

    Pertinent reporting here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-15951722 I wonder if those hoping for the "Shades of 76 Summer" were happy that a vital element of our ecology was destroyed so long as they could enjoy their time in the beer garden? Selfishness to the nth degree.

    I suppose it's easier to "prove" your point of view when the state broadcaster joins in the propaganda war and you're threatened with jail for refusing to fund it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2066706/BBC-sought-advice-global-warming-scientists-economy-drama-music--game-shows.html

    Good post. Nice to see a bit of perspective on the thread.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15199065 The BBC environment reporter noted: "The researchers emphasise there is no impact on global warning." Who would have thought it? I wish someone had laid odds on this reaction!

    If you continually predict hot weather "next week" every week for five months, eventually you'll get one right. Pity we didn't have this heat when he was forecasting it in July, rather than spoiling the week just gone.

    Damn! Booked a farm cottage as base for a walking holiday next week and it looks like it's going to be spoiled. Nearly a year of perfect weather (except for lack of rain) and I'm about to cop for mid 20's by the look of it. At least it shouldn't be humid, just too dry.
  14. rob48
    Very true, I've been lucky this year.

    Gas fire? Monday was the first night that we closed the window before going to bed.

    Damson picking underway here in Staffs too, elderberries ripe and sloes almost ready. Lovely time of year.
  17. rob48
    Overall: a blessed relief after the disquiet induced by the "shades of 76" forecast. Thankfully there was no real heat and humidity apart from a few days at the beginning of August. Only real negative was the lack of rainfall, which although not as useful in summer, it was yet another drier season. Hopefully autumn will rectify this. Highlight? Posters in the model discussion thread identifying a heatwave, next week.

    There is some support from the ensembles but ECM could be an outliner An outliner? Yes a very nice ECM indeed no signs of Autum storms at all, this time next week could be very pleasent indeed if ECM is correct . Yeah. Could be. You've been copy and pasting this hopecast (in various forms) since early May.
  19. rob48
    Cool & wet please. Seems to have been dry forever.
  20. rob48
    Do you mean "been" as in the historical, past tense? Or are you trying to write "being", as in a prediction for the future?
  21. rob48
    Another rain forecast fails to materialise. Ground dusty, leaves turning, rivers dropping. Really need a wet autumn.
  22. rob48
    The most encouraging post I've read on here in ages. Hope it all comes off.
  23. rob48
    In order to avoid confusion perhaps it may be appropriate to refer to the summer LRF in the plural rather than singular tense in future? Anyway, nearly halfway through and no uncomfortable heat yet, bar a couple of days. By the end of the month the reduced daylight hours will become noticeable and the countdown to the end of summer can begin.
  24. rob48
    Especially those LRFs

    Really enjoyable read on this latest model thread. Certainly improved by the absence of cherry-picked FI scenarios at six-hourly intervals.
