What do you want out of a British summer is my question and forgive me

Well now you are asking, what I want out of a British summer is longer
spells of anticyclonic weather with the anticyclone in the most favorable
place for decent warmth.... +25c late June is not unreasonable were I am
located ( which will of course exclude an Anticyclone to the North, North
West and West for that matter, like really we have had over the past
months). I think this is, briefly, on the cards soon for a few days in the
outlook. I also want warmth and expect to have a run of cyclonic westerlies
so that comes with the package because of course rain is required to make
things grow.
Now I am lampooned because I grumble whenever I see an outlook like that you
had posted from the Met today. It sorta writes it off despite its only a
forecast but I have a great faith in it being so, strangely. But this is
just my nature.

I dont think its unreasonable to expect it to be a little warmer by the 25th
June but evidently those on here do. I tell you something its far from balmy
this evening thats for sure and the woolies, hot water bottle, central
heating has rarely been off so far this year. Now this is normal for you I
guess most years. Its coming to understand this that I have have a problem
with.
