You must be getting some decent summery weather out of this Dave R?
It's not exactly cracking the flags weather, but 22C, light
winds and strong sunshine would be many people's idea of an English
summer heaven. Paul

Decent with reservations Paul. Its not strong sunshine this afternoon as its
turned milky I think for the SW too.
This 'decent' weather really started Sunday. A strange day, at first I
thought far too windy, in fact an extremely strong blustery wind but then in
the afternoon was a thinking this would be a damned hot day if it werent for
that wind and I decided it wasn't a grumble sort of day at all. Monday sunny
periods then cloud developed and built extensively in the pm period and it
was generally not too warm either when the sun disappeared behing one of
joined up large dark looking cumulii. Today is better, at 22C but if I say
anything its not quite got that feel of settled conditions that associate
with the really proper anticyclonic synoptics. By this I mean theres a
certain 'mobility' in the atmosphere which detracts away from any
perfection. So its not summer heaven by a long chalk.. I will say when its
Summer heaven - and its not yet. In fact it has to be at least over 25C as
well, for that, in this part of the country. But thanks for thinking of me.

We worry about you Dave! I know what you mean about the mobile
situation and the lack of a "settled feel". These conditions are
transient; the nature of zonal weather and you can, sort of, "feel" it
in the air, that it's not settled, even though individual days can
give that appearance. Now there, I might be rambling too!

Compared to the longer-term average, the summer so far, for England
and for you at least, is, well, pretty average so far!

Pretty average here for June so far temperature wise, but it has been drier
than normal. I don't know about sunshine but the average is getting on for
nearly 8 hours a day which must be about average for here or slightly less.

Here, after the warmest May since August 2002, so far it's been the
coolest June.

Can I assume then, that July 2006 had a warmer May?

I'm afraid that Lesley had to explain that to me which has delayed our
meal by two minutes which means we'll miss the beginning of 'Pie in the
Sky' and goodness knows what the consequences of that will be so please
try not to do it again!

The weather isn't dreadfully awful for everyone, though. Summer zonal
has much more of a warm influence from a hot continent than a winter
zonal pattern and between troughs, the strong sun allows some very
nice days, the closer to the continent that you are. The SE (and
Wimbledon) should benefit, but there's likely to be rain interruptions
as fronts cross the UK and the second week looks as if there will be
more than the first.

In addition; the jet, being right over us, allows the South to benefit
from the sinking air on it's Southern flank, whilst the poor NW now
gets the bulk of the wetter and windier weather - good to know the
drought has broken in Cumbria and NW Scotland - as the jet has
realigned itself, a little further North, from it's position last
week.

I'll bet Hyde Park is full of sunbathers this afternoon and they'll be
doing a good trade in extortionately priced strawberries and cream at
Wimbledon. Watch the sun. An afternoon in today's conditions spells
lobster. It's not exactly cracking the flags weather, but 22C, light
winds and strong sunshine would be many people's idea of an English
summer heaven.

I can't see the zonal train stopping yet and the seach is now on for
the change. This zonal spell started on about 10/11th July and we've
now had 2 weeks of it. There's at least a week to go and it could last
a lot longer. That blocked Atlantic of Spring seems a long time ago,
doesn't it? I wonder what actually provided the Epsom salts to unblock
the system?

What a country for weather watching, I wouldn't live anywhere else!
Lovely in the SW this morning, but the office calls. Rats.
