Warm years with poor summers

[Greyhound81]

There does not seem to be many years when we have had a poor summer, but the rest of the year has been warm.

2011 is certainly one example.  Most of the year temperatures were above average apart from the 3 summer months (June was ok, July and August were awful).  There were 2 very warm spells in April and late September/early October.  2007 was also a very warm year (12th in the CET), but the summer was nothing to write home about.  Maybe 2002 as well?  Can't really think of any more years.

Does anyone have any more examples?

1998, that summer was poor for the 1990s.

For me, three factors come into as regards to summer, warmth, rain days and sunshine.  So, a summer like 2020 which was overall above average temperature wise but was poor because of rain days and lack of sunshine. 

2004 was a poor summer but had above average temperatures.
