Well, it's not looking good if you're a sun and heat lover for this
summer, now we're into July and high pressure seems to be avoiding us
like the plague. Is this goning to be two years in a row, something not
unusual, of grim summer weather? Of course, it may pick up for August,
one can only hope.

I tend to agree with you Keith. The models are only hinting at an
improvement in mid July. One of the problems, as far as I'm concerned, is
that persistence is particularly strong at this time of year.

If only we had a little more anomalous coolness like this in winter
(assuming we are anomalously cool)!

The omens are not good; Philip Eden has mentioned in his monthly synoptic
overviews that there has been higher than average pressure over Greenland
in each of the last 3 months, and this month has continued to show high
pressure in the Iceland/Greenland region, so far.Clearly, this means that
depression tracks will continue to follow routes further south than usual
and no settled spells for Britain - although Scotland often fares well in
these situations.Some sources seem to suggest that the weather will improve
after mid-month - I shall believe it when it happens.

Hey Keith how is it you can get away with criticising the awful summer and
the prospect of it continuing to be awful when I get called an old moaner
for exactly the same thing? Oh I get it, yes, your in the "fan club" are
you? or am I just better at it.

I don't mind hot weather in the 2nd half of August, as I know the summer
will soon be over...

There are hints Mike! I'd settle for those 12z gfs charts for next
weekend! It would be at the expense of a forecast, but who cares! I
have guests with young children. I really don't want rain! I want nice
sunny, calm picnic and boat trip conditions with rain only forecast
several days ahead, on washing day, or something!

Hi Dave, I must have missed you being called that, I tend to have to
flick through posts quickly as I just seem to be forever racing against
time, but I'm sure my wife would say I can be an old moaner as well so
don't take it personnally ;-) August I'll be struggling to keep things
upto date as I have a weekes holiday plus working overseas for two
weeks, so I'm not sure how I will find time to play catch with my
website. Of course this maybe while I have a hunch August may be better
as I will miss it!

"Fan Club" ? I don't come from the SW grin infact I thought I was in
everyones kill file list, now look who's moaning. They're only jealous
as we have the best weather in the SE :-)

good weather in Summer so stop moaning and we like it like that here then
colder the better for me followed by so why dont you move to Spain etc and
loads of other cliches too numerous to mention.
