Why Is The Upcoming Spell Of Weather Forecast To Be So Cool?

[TonyH]

Far from cool here: Adjusted max of 26.9c.

[4wd]

17C max here, it was sunny most of the afternoon but NE wind off the sea so August or not it was cool.

[MP-R]

Forecast - cloudy 24C; Reality - 90% sunny 27.5C

[Bottesford]

I've been traveling most of today so a scan across the UK...

Coniston, Lake District - very warm & sunny start with only a few clouds around.

Buxton and surroundings - 6/8 to 7/8 cloud cover feeling very warm & humid even at 1400 feet altitude farm I visited.

Nottingham - max 24.2c with some cloud around. 16.6c at 11pm but feels fresher and breezier.

The low St predicted for today has appeared in quite a number of places over and east of the main north-south hills in England.

[4wd]

Calm and chilly night with minimum of 6.8C, now wind is brisk from east so doubtful we will top 20C despite good sunny spells.

6.8?? I wouldn't have predicted that in a million years.. that's very cool indeed for August.. surely the coolest August night in recent times for you? Or is that more common that I would assume?

It was cool here yesterday so not far to fall under clear skies overnight.

Last year August 31st went down to 1.8C.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Yes, a much cloudier day in the areas that were projected by GFS to be cool. GFS was guilty of over-egging the low temperatures IMHO, but it evidently picked up on the advancing cloud sheet correctly.

[DeepSnow]

It peaked at 25.4C yesterday and was quite humid too, today however the cloud has limited the temps, currently 21.8C but not so humid which is nice! Still waiting to get a low below 11.0C for this month!

5 degrees at Shap last night, 4.3 two nights ago. Had 2.3 on 14th July.

Tulloch Bridge was 2.6 last night and 0.4 yesterday.

A max of only 25c today. I would have expected a lot more given how todays chart looked.

Here we barely got to 20c and it actually felt chilly this evening. Whats going on?

[Methuselah]

The incoming air is not as hot as it could be, MH. That's really all there is to it, IMO?
