Summer 2015

Yes indeed a very pleasant summers day. Time To revive this thread for the coming week.

 

Why? We're in Autumn. If we're going to discuss current weather then let's use the relevant season.

Only if you follow the meteorological seasons. I find the astronomical seasons are closer to the real weather seen. Matter of choice. Of course, the coldies will happily claim its autumn outright no matter what though! But I appreciate its personal opinion. As far as im concerned if this thread is still allowed to be open, it still has use at least for astronomical summer.

Lovely summery weather but the weather doesn't dictate a season.

Didn't change the fact it was getting dark & chilly at an ever earlier 19:30 tonight.

Odd - I thought that's what seasons were all about. After all, if we're going to define seasons based on daylight, summer begins sometime in April and ends sometime in August.

 

Having 3 calendar months for every season makes sense for statistical purposes, but is clearly no use when it comes to the type of weather we experience - that much is obvious - especially when the first part of September averages 20-22C for most of England as an average high, higher than the first part of June.

But you're reporting meteorological conditions on a meteorological forum.

Plus it makes things far easier by keeping them in the correct place.

I thought you might say that. Might as well lock this thread then. Doesn't seem to have any purpose. However imo the meteorological definition is purely for statistical purposes for which I am not doing here so just merely posting in the season I feel best. So come late September, Autumn it definitely is.

Today was the only day which actually resembled the typical Derry Summer, blue-sky and 19C, I believe it was because of the Jet-Stream, letting the Azores High settle us.

My take on Summer '15 from Oxfordshire.  Plus point - it was largely dry - I organise a big rounders competition over the summer months and we've had little in the way of problems with the rain.  But other than that - where was the heat????  Few hot days around 1 July and another on 22 August - apart from that it might have been late spring or early autumn.

 

Still, I was staying in Bournemouth the night of THAT storm!!!

 

Oh well, roll on winter...
