It always worries me when, after a reasonable start to summer, it takes a
turn for the worse end of June/beginning of July with the jet waking up
etc. It happened in 1988, for example, and again last year. (OK this July
has not been quite as bad as 1988, but even when the weather has been ok,
it has been unpleasantly windy, just like last year)
When it breaks at that time, it often stays broke and gut feeling tells me
we may have to wait till the 2nd half of August for any real improvement.
It remains to be seen whether we break the 80f mark this year here - the
year's high remains at 26.1c. (In fact we have had just one day over the
80f mark since the end of July 2006 - 3 years ago)

Really?
I've had two, July 1st & July 2nd. Highest was 28.9C on the 1st.
I'd have thought Bournemouth would get it's fair share of hot days
or is see breezes that kept things lower in the late June/early July
hot spell?
