Default Very cold for July

Must be around 6 or 7 degrees below normal, equivalent to freezing in
January or single figures in October? What's strange is that such an
ordinary looking west or northwesterly airmass should produce such low
temperatures - normally to produce temperatures significantly below
normal, a strong blast from the north or northeast or (in winter only)
east or southeast is required. Or fog...

The difference is that in summer the ocean to the west is a source of
relatively cold air while in winter it is a source of relatively warm
air. The ocean surface temperature to the west of the British Isles
varies by only a few degrees between summer and winter.
