Never say never John, it has a habit of coming back to bite you on the bum.
There's nothing to say that we won't experience another winter like that of 1962-3 in the next 20 years or so, or another summer like that of 1976. |

Though that was arguably even more extreme, I think the degree of warming since the 1970s makes a repeat rather less unlikely than a repeat of 1962-3 would be. -- John Hall "Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands and all you can do is scratch it."

Oh John oh John. So what climate should we be striving for? What we have now or marginally cooler, with the emphasis on the "marginally". But that's not likely to happen. If change is slow enough, then there's time to adjust to it, and we can probably cope. The worry is that over the coming decades warming may be too fast for that. -- John Hall "Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands and all you can do is scratch it."

I call it the forgotten summer as nobody seems to remember it, yet I reckon it gives 1976 a run for its money. I spent that summer surfing down at Sennen in Cornwall. To say the weather was stunning would be an understatement. There was also 1989 and 1990; ahhhh, those were the days. Then again, June & July 2006 until things went off track in August but recovered in September to give one of the warmest, sunniest and best Autumns I've known. -- Nick G Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |

Nick, 1995 was a cracking summer (Jul/Aug) but, I think 1976 just edges it taking all three summer months into account, although I was only 5yrs old back in 76.
For me, 1989 is probably the best extended summer here in the Westcountry, it seemed to start in the last fews days of April & went on well into September. |

After a cold Feb and March (a White Easter in parts of the Country which was the same weekend as now), a cold wet April/May then warm spells in June until Summer proper began the first weekend of July and continued until early Sept. During that period there was only the first week of August where temps were down to near normal before becoming warm again. It wasn't dry throughout though, a few thunderstorms during the period kept the water levels up. Of possible current interest, the thing I remember about the April and May period was the high frequency of winds from an E quarter with low pressure to the S. 1984 was good too in the same area and lasted a bit longer, starting in early June and going on longer into Sept. In 1995, I lived in the Central Belt of Scotland and Summer was excellent there too. All 3 Summer months lived up to their name. IIRC, June was better than further South. The following winter was good too, living up to its name. -- Pete Malvern, S Worcs, 43m asl.

I have vivid recollections of having to seek shade after mid-morning whilst weekend strawberry picking at Leigh Sinton Farm around the middle/late June period. The River Teme was nearby by and it was so hot by midday that we would jump in the river to cool off. I didn't earn that much pocket money from strawberry picking that year. -- Nick G Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |
