Desperately poor afternoon for 'high summer' here.

Earlier it rose to 17c and rather cloudy, last couple of hours have been
wet
and it's now fallen to 14c.
Wind F3-4 northerly, SLP 1018mb.

35th successive day without even 22c even being reached here.

What makes it all the more galling is that it's 27c and CAVOK at Manston.
So
near but yet so far..

Why so cold incidentally? The temperatures in the far SW do not
suggest it's a particularly cold airmass west of the front. Can we
expect better for the weekend's ridge or are we stuck with yet another
bone-chillingly cool summer weekend?

Don't know why it's so cool.. T850s according to GFS analysis is around
9-10c around here.
