everyones kill file list, now look who's moaning. They're only jealous

What's "best weather" - thought you had brown lawns and had to water
the veg patch to ensure decent production!!

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

unusual, of grim summer weather? *Of course, it may pick up for August,

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.

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!

Keith you'd never believe it, with things like, you know UK you can't expect
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.

Foul, wet and cool in the SW this morning. That should cheer the old
moaner up. Also, yesterday's hints of a ridging of the Azores high for
next weekend were exactly that; hints and no more. Slow moving low
pressures. 2007 part 2 - at least until the middle of July. Don't you
just love it!

They don't, judging by the above comment.

Looks like we're all agreed then:

Mind you, with Piers going for a wet summer perhaps all hope for a glorious
summer is not yet lost.

Quite fascinating, really. Most of us on here, I assume, were born in
the British Isles and have spent most of our lives here and should
therefore be completely acclimatised to the British Isles weather. Yet,
the range of temperature in which we feel most comfortable varies
hugely from individual to individual. For some (including me) an ideal
summer afternoon temperature is 17-18c. For others the ideal is over
30c. I suspect that the great majority favour somewhere around 25c.
Also, some people like air with a high dew point while others prefer a
low dew point. I wouldn't begin to offer a reason why there is such
variability in what feels comfortable but there is no doubt that the
variability exists.

Could it be that we've been settled by everyone from Norway to Italy and
the proportion of that mix in our genes determines our weather
preferences?

An interesting theory. As far back as I can trace, my roots are in West
Scotland (mother's family) and NW Ireland (father's family). It's very
unlikely that there is any "southern" blood in me. That could account
for my preference for relatively cool weather :-) My wife can trace her
paternal ancestry to Poland and her maternal ancestry to Russia. She
also prefers cool weather, even cooler than my preference.

I think my preferences are more down to aesthetic appeal, I like cold
weather in winter, warm (not necessarily boiling hot) weather (with a
few heat-generated storms) in summer, and anything as long as it's
bright in spring. Then again it could be because I'm originally from
somewhere like southern Germany, which I guess is the region of Europe
those conditions are closest too...

Nick

To add to this developing theory:-
Some years ago, one of my daughters had a DNA test at uni for an ancestral
trait.
Turns out to have been of viking origin, so wife and self followed suit.
As I had worked extensively in the Baltic and loved every moment, I assumed
it was my genes, and felt quite privileged.
Not so it transpired, it was 'er indoors to her great delight.
My wife can sleep under 2 x 15 tog duvets at any time and loves 30C+ temps.
I dispense with 5 tog duvets over 15C and a hot day commences at 20C.
Need less to say, we have separate sleeping arrangements!

I wouldn't mind a hot summer as long as we had a cold winter as payback.
