June C.E.T

[Cymru]

16C on the dot.

[Gray-Wolf]

I'd love to go into the 17's but I'm a bit stung by May's coolness (only 1c or so above the 71-2000 mean) so I'll stick with a 16.4c ta.

[NorthYorksWeather]

im going for 15.8, a warm month but nothing exceptional

[Lettucing Gutted]

*Drum roll* I am going for the warmest June on record of 19C C.E.T. This will be the warmest June since the record breaking June of 1846.

I'll raise you to 20.

Just kidding, wanted to get Mr Data to spill his coffee again.

Still thinking it over here, don't want to be put in the stocks by going under 17 or paraded through town in a dunce cap for something under 16.5, although if it means a free trip over, why not?

I'm surprised the May Metcheck CET is 0.9C above average -what with the frequency of fresh northerly winds this month.

Most of the "Northerlies" this May were simply transitional Northerlies as well as Westerlies and a Southerly in southern Britain rather than true Northerlies from the North Pole.

Are "true northerlies" usually expected in May? I don't know. But I did notice UK going -2/+2C 850hpa for long periods*, while we've not had sustained hot airmass (except in passing for a few days around the 18th and 24th/25th).

*9th > 16th

* 19th > 22nd

* 26th > 29th

This colder upper air, not reflected at ground level, given we are 0.8C above average on Metcheck CET. (I use the Metcheck CET just for illustration, and because I'm not aware Netweather have one.)

Forgot to add my guess for this month.

It's hard to imagine this weather continuing much longer and when it breaks I would imagine the temperatures will soar so I will go for the usual almost a couple of degrees above the long term average so 16 for me please. Thanks.

I'm going for 14.2C. I think June is going to be quite unsettled and rainy, like May, and with temperatures not far above the 1971-2000 Average.

[Stargazer]

Like May, I suspect this June will be closer to average than we've had in many recent months. Let's say 14.8.

[Sunshine]

I'll go for another warm month at 15.1

[JohnAcc]

15.2 for me please

[Polar Continental]

Nothing special with my guess, 14.3c

[Wynn D Woo]

Put me down for 16.2C, warming up over the month to cancel the slightly cooler start.

[Stu_London]

14.7C

Looking at the available output I am tempted to revise this down slightly however in the interests of people not whinging about changed predictions, I will stick with it.

I think any hot spells are a way off yet.

We could be about to see a run of months (with August like to buck the trend) where the CET is lower that that of last years value. I would be willing to put money that May, June, July, September, October and November will all come in less than 2006. If the SSTa data is to be believed then this may extend to December, January and February too.

I know some will laugh at this suggestion, however what I am predicting is not actually that remarkable and I will be the first to revisit whether right or wrong

14.9C for me

[kold weather]

My final call---15C

Downward revision based on the possiblity that the Azores high may decide to stay out in the Atlantic with a weaker high to our east maybe not being strong enough to with-stand the southerly tracking jet.

Got a feeling too that the AZH will not migrate to us this year so mine is 15c. I think a 'westerly' month is ahead of us

[Iceberg]

It all depends on our Euro high IMO, there have been some pretty high temps in Germany this May, it would only take a slight shift to direct that heat towards us.Like wise if it doesn't we get a pretty bog standard June.

[VillagePlank]

Going out on a limb, here, 15.8C

[jemtom]

I'm anticipating a month of two halves, with much warmer, settled weather likely during the last fortnight, but certainly nothing spectacular. Therefore 15.3c is my call.

[DAVID SNOW]

Have a try with 15.5. ty.

[The Penguin]

15.2 - it's my lucky number
