How come this time there are no thunderstorms? Usually when the air changes
from hot air to cold air there are?

* * * The change to cooler air was confined to the lower layers thus
increasing the stability rather than reducing it, quite unlike the
case where the breakdown of a hot spell comes from the west where the
upper air cools while the surface remains warm for a time. *This time,
rather unusually, it was the other way round. *There was no related
marked change in the upper air pattern though there will be over the
net few days.

With all of the above in mind I wonder how rare a phenomenon this is -
ie cool air moving north to south in summer?
