Bah humbug...

I can hear what you're saying, Keith, but you have to admit it
is a million times better than last year - and the years before
that?

It is also a million times better than we have had almost all this
year so far.

But it isn't. Not where Keith is. I don't understand why everyone in
the sunny areas have to post and tell Keith how sunny and warm it
is where they are. His point is that where he is it is bloody awful
and the forecasts were for warm and sunny weather there as well,
albeit retracting to patchy cloud after the event and now
predicting the solid cloud the day following we got that as well.
The S.E is often the hottest part of the Country with the record high
at present so with mid June temperatures largely in the 12-16C
range he is entitled to draw attention to it despite the good
weather in the West!

I suspect that the trouble is that the North Sea is much colder than it
normally is at this time of year. (Incidentally, Adam is based in
Horsham IIRC, which is not exactly the west, though I'm sure it's had
fair better weather than the Essex coast.)

Even worse today (9th), maximum of 13.9°C, coldest this month, at least it didn't rain as we had a christening in the family followed by a BBQ, all doors flung open, not felt so cold since last year with another outside event for the Queens diamond jubilee (10.9° 3rd June 2012).

Bring on the westerlies, much milder.

I'm fed up with the locals (Thanet) rferring to it as a sea breeze! No
it's not; it's just a blooming cold wind!

You tell 'em! We can't have people using the "Sea" word, quite
apart from the meteorological inaccuracy.

Nothing too warm here either, max 17.9°C with a F4 NE'ly which
has dropped only to F3 overnight. St and Sc arrived earlier than
usual today - overcast by 8 pm. For the SE this is a waste of an
anticyclone - I demand 30°C immediately.

Bah humbug...

It is that London-o-centric forecasting method they use.

17C here in N Yorks and looks like the sun might break through this pm.

Farmers were frantically silaging all weekend and fledgling sparrows out
are sat out on the lawn. Serious shortage of housemartins, swifts and
swallows up here. I'd estimate about a third of the usual quota!

I'm fed up with them telling me how glorious the weather is
today. It's bloody cold in that north
east wind today and we do have some sun, I would be even more
p&^%^%d off if I lived further
up the east coast were the sun hasn't appeared at all for
days.

But it *was* glorious in eastern Scotland on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, and on Sunday and Monday afternoons. Certainly,
there was an easterly breeze, but not enough to negate the
sunshine.
