I remember the spell in early June, it was very sunny and became very warm around the 8th-10th.

I know it became a lot drier from the end of July but I don't remember it being that great? The first weekend of August was mildly hot then remained fair until around the 11th; 12th-22nd was then quite overcast, cool and wet at times; then mainly sunny and at times very warm over the BH weekend before sliding into a dull and cool final few days.

I don't think August 2007 was a brilliant month, perhaps it has a better reputation than it normally would because of the wet weather that preceded it, or because Aug 06 and 08 were both poor? But I wouldn't say it was any better than August 2009 or 2012.

August 2007 was an 8/10. Despite being cool, it was still dry and sunny. We have even managed a hot day on the 5th at 28c, as well as many warm sunny days in the first 13 days, and around the 23rd-26th. It felt more "spring-like" than summery or autumnal
