Call this summer??

Looking at the max temps so far
onhttp://www.weatheronline.co.uk/weather.html
it wouldn't surprise me if nowhere in the country reached 20C today, that
must
be fairly unsusual for July.

Hi, Col,
I suppost it's all relative, but it feels warm today at 15C with sunny
intervals after yesterday's continuous rain and 11.6C high! Off to the
theatre now to watch No1 daughter perform - inside today so taking no
risks even though the showers seem to have stopped. My friends'
outdoor Shakespeare performance on Wednesday evening was a washout but
I did manage to give them a correct forecast of dry Thursday and
Friday evenings although by the skin of teeth. Tonight's looking OK as
well, but cool.

Yes, finally 'topped out' at a whopping 14.1C!
It was never going to be great today but I was expecting some sun
this afternoon after the early showers.
The interest for tonight will be whether I get lower than the 8.1C min
I recorded on the 4th, my gut feeling says no but it will be close.
Tomorrow, much better some sun especially in the morning and the
possibility of only my 3rd 20C day this month!
