Default Summer: slightly above average temps; wetter,espec in some areas; very dull

Here are the final figures for the summer, from the MetO.

Sunshine has been the killer, having been below average in all areas
except the far North of Scotland. If you could see the map, of
course!

I feel it's been a little cooler in the daytime and definitely
wetter
in the SW and the figures would back that up, but the lack of a
warm,
dry and sunny spell has left me feeling disappointed. I've only got
10
summers to base that on though!

Personally I think that the summer was probably average. The main
problem for me was that the Sunny warm days were invariably
Monday -Friday when most of us were at work. Strangely, the weekends
were all diabolical weatherwise. Maybe thats why we perceived it as a
"bad" summer.
Anybody agree/disagree with this?
(BTW I am near Blackpool, the weather here is a climate of its own.
Can be Sunny in Blackpool and raining in Preston!)
