Reply to the hot summers of 2005/6

One of those years had a huge thunder storm in june that spread across the whole country and cause serious flash flooding everywhere, was the heaviest rain and loudest thunder I'd ever seen/heard. The news papers called it a monsoon if I remember right.

I remember that event, it was quite something. I hope we see something similar this year!

2005 and 2006 were pretty hot!

LOL! certainly forgotten the heat of Jun/Jul 2006, I think the main reason I don't have quite such good memories of these two summers is that both had pretty average Augusts when the kids were off school.

Is this the summer regional thread now that the snow flurries have stopped?

That summer I admit was a bit too hot for me. I like it pleasantly warm but not big heat and humidity. Even by the coast temperatures regularly went into the 80sF and the sea was very warm late into the autumn and then stayed warmer than usual because of a dreadful winter that followed . The long warm evenings were nice though - bit like an extended holiday (when not working)

It looks like staying quite cold for a while - and as far as I am concerned that is good enough

We are certainly overdue a warmer and definitely drier summer this year but happy to have a cold spring

Wouldn't be surprised to exactly see that happen - and rather break the pattern of recent years. Sooner or later there will be something different, even though I think we might well be entering a longer term pattern of colder wetter summers and *she touches wood* colder winters

No, no, no; I want a warm spring. I'm fed-up of feeling cold...

It's still just drizzle at the min but look at the thames in this.

If only some convection would turn up.

[moordown66]

I'd settle for a coolish spring until the middle of May if it meant a great Summer from about 20th May to 15th September!

The good news is that the bits of precip are getting bigger; the bad news is that it's turned to sleet...

[glowgreen]

that lot in the channels gettin closer

[Bluebreezer54]

Glowgreen, can you put your location in your profile/signature please ? Cheers.

Had a 5 minute flurry of graupel here earlier this afternoon which wasn't enough to see me through to the next round of the snow depth cup. Aside from that the forecast for the next few days is everything I dislike about the last throes of winter. Overcast, cold, drizzle.

If it's sleet or rain I don't want it lol, High hold it back please.

[Steve C]

I've got to say that I really don't like this weather. I like snow, as much as most here, but this cold, cloudy, raw weather does zero for me. I'm just longing to see sunshine now as much as anything.

[abruzzi spur]

that lot in the channels gettin closer

Surely you don't mean....

[bluearmy]

is that line of showers still sleet as it spreads inland and peps up a tad ?

[Cirrusly Snowy]

It's hardly any surprise that the rest of the world wonder why we are so pale...

[Ice BIast]

It was sleet earlier here, but the temp decreased and it's turned back to snow now surprisingly, I'm on the coast as well.

Temp: 1.5

Dewpoint: -0.2

[Methuselah]

Raining now...The milder uppers are moving west...
