I'm just doing some work on analysing blocking and spells of weather using the Jenkinson Lamb Weather Type [LWT] data that you can download from the Climate Research Unit [CRU] of the University of East Anglia [UEA], and came across what looks like the longest anticyclonic spell of blocking weather across the British Isles in the whole data set that started in 1871. According to the results from my early beta application, the summer was anticyclonic for around 32 days from the 5th of July to the 5th of August, a truly amazing spell of summer weather. The Monthly Weather Reports for the month of July have a headline "Warm and sunny; apart from thunderstorms". According to the report the MSLP anomaly for the month was a massive +9.9 MB at Stornoway and +4.4 MB at Southampton. Sunshine for England and Wales were at record levels of 146% of the 1921-1950 long-term average, in Scotland that figure was 172% and Northern Ireland 184%.
