Default So; into August.

I was hoping this would be a typical 1998-2004 even
year, but the runs today suggest the worst pair of summers for many
years overall for lack of warm weather, possibly worse even than the
1992/93 pair - both those summers had more settled spells than the
current one. I also see the mean temps in southern England in July
were (slightly) below the 1971-00 normal - why, why, why do July and
August (where below average temperatures destroy the aesthetic appeal
of the season completely, unlike the autumn, winter and spring) have
the highest tendency for below average temperatures in recent years?


Yes, I'd much rather such a tendency applied in Jan/Feb...
