I'd say it is, dead that is. The length of the cyclonic spells between the
brief settled spells April/May - the present has been far, far greater
thaqts without resorting to data only my observation.

MY INTERPRETATION::
Based on that then and as the weather declines into August, as it seems to
be on the cards to do, even somewhat, you could take it that the chance of
any more proper decent settled stuff is going to be well into late
September/October even.

Not sure if the first half of August is looking *too* bad - though
(typically, though perhaps less of a big deal this time of year than
others) there seems to be a fairly consistent, if short-lasting, "low
from hell" for the weekend of 9th/10th. Rest of the time though it
looks vaguely passable.

earlier darker evenings and rapid cooling after
4pm is whats to look forward to in any possibility of a settled late
September.

Warm evenings, even after dark, seem more typical of contemporary
Septembers though - even if the day max has not been record breaking.
