I've noticed that, too. I've had no days below 20° but I did
get 25.5° on the 5th and 27.9° on the 6th, a brief spike. The mean is
22.4°, which is above normal. Joe Public will still complain and so,
for a different reason, will Joe Weathernut.

An only slightly larger range here, from 17.2C on the 1st
to 22.3C on the 9th. Average mean max (to yesterday)
19.9C. That will change tomorrow of course as I expect
I will be nearing 25C, several degrees higher in the south
of course.

There has been some sain, ut not on an excessive number
of days nor particularly heavy. There has been a reasonable
amount of sun too, but no outstandingly sunny days.

All very 'equable' many would call it 'boring'

No complaints at all from me about the current weather. Anything
vaguely summery is fine for me, i.e., temps above 20C, light winds
(unless temp well above 20C), bright, is fine. In the Hampshire area
it was decidedly "bad" from July 27 to August 4, due largely to
suppressed temperatures, and much better since, barring the odd day.

Mean max for August now around 0.5C above normal. It's been a
pleasant month here, bit blustery this afternoon though.

No complaints from me either, especially considering what July was
like. There was a similarly 'bad' period here from July 26th till August 2nd
with low temperatures, two days were only around 15.5C!
This compounded with some heavy rain and relatively little sun made
for a a rather unpleasant summer week.

From a purely 'how does the summer feel' perspective August so far has
been pleasant enough, though as we live in very different parts of the
country the absolute temperature values we consider to be 'pleasant' will
diifer according to what we are used to.
