This August is turning out so far to be rather dire - cool, cloudy and wet.
1st - 8th: Mean minimum = 12.2C Mean maximum = 20.6C Mean = 16.4C Rain = 36 mm Sunshine = 30 hours It doesn't get much worse than the above! The weather seems to have been in terminal decline since the 20th July. On this date last August, the mean temperature was a rather better 18.3C and there had been 52 hours of sunshine. The month ended up with 243 hours of sunshine and a drier than normal 37 mm of rain. Unless there's a big change in the weather I cannot see this August coming close to last years for sunshine, dryness and warmth. It reminds me of the Augusts during the bad old summer days of 2007 to 2012. -- Nick Gardner Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalleyweather.me.uk |

It reminds me of the Augusts during the bad old summer days of 2007 to 2012. Oh don't be such a drama queen, it has not been that bad. Been in tee-shirt and shorts a lot of days and the sun has been warm and there has been a lot of dry weather. Just 35.7mm rain so far. Full month average in Haytor (2003-16) is 123mm. Sometimes I think people expect far too much of UK summers. If you want persistent heat and sun move abroad. Will -- --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

It's perfectly OK to have a good moan about the weather relative to your own average conditions rather then comparing to someone else's. You and Nick might be geographically pretty close but a world away in terms of climate. A very poor August for him might be average for you. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl Snow videos: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QvmL4UWBmHFMKWiwYm_gg |

We had friends staying for the last few days and we headed for the beach at the weekend. It was OK when the sun shone but it felt rather chilly in the wind. And when that sun went in, it was get the fleeces out! It comes to something that one of the worst spells of weather of the entire year so far, occurs in August. I heard the sun may even shine this afternoon - a miracle (if it does). Currently 14.3C at 10:45 - it has got be a joke (hasn't it?) -- Nick Gardner Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalleyweather.me.uk |

Monday felt fine, the best day of late, because there was virtually no wind, it was dry with spells of sunshine. The temperature still failed to hit 20C. Overall the temperature has been way below normal. Mean max here now 19.1C, with a absolute maximum of 20.3C - below the normal MEAN max. Bit more sun than you, 45 hours up at Bosullow from 1st - 8th. Looks set to be a notably poor summer month, unless things change dramatically. Graham Penzance |

Nothing remarkable in that, simply a cool day in summer and really quite nice in the sunshine right now.
