Default Another typical summers' day in the SW

Middle of June. Temperature 11C. Dull with steady rain. Nothing new again.

If this is global warming, I dont want to be here when the Ice Age starts.

I was just thinking this morning how cruel the summers have been the past few years in the UK, bearing in mind many can no longer afford the joys of a Mediterranean beach holiday anymore. Again, another BBQ yesterday evening and have never felt so cold since the last one a week earlier. Maybe it's waitng until the schools break up :-)

Oh well, the evenings start drawing in in six days time !!!

I know, that thought is somewhat depressing.

If I had left our central heating on the winter setting, I am sure that
the thermostat would have switched it on this morning. But I will
resist the pressure to use more gas than is absolutely necessary,
despite the wife's constant mumblings of how cold she is.

I think people now have unrealistic expectations. The SE certainly has done badly over recent weeks, but if we take the 1st 14 days of June in west Cornwall.

Average temp approx 1C below average (-1.1C Culdrose, -1.0C Penzance, -0.7C Camborne, -0.3C up at Plymouth

Sunshine already 75-80% of the norm for the whole month. (76% at Camborne). We had 200 hours of sun in May.

Rainfall approx 35% of the normal months total.

So in this part of the SW sunny, rather cool & rather dry (so far!) would sum it up.

Roger's page http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/~brugge/uksummary.html shows just how cool the SE has been (see temp anomaly map)

Sorry for the confusion, but I was really referring to "nothing new"
compared with the last few Junes, rather than the previous two weeks.
At the moment this summer seems to be following last year, but two
weeks late. In 2012 we had decent weather for a short while at the end
of May, then it all went downhill over the Jubliee weekend.

I just detected a similarity beginning to develop.

Ha! Easy to understand your frustration. Just been out with the dog in almost 14C and had to wear a woolly hat and a fleece!

However, the CET is close to average and as Graham says, expectations can be awfully unrealistic! Wait for the middle of next week and catch a train to the SE, if you want to see unrealistic expectations realised. *))

Yes, I know the feeling. It would certainly be good to get a run of really good summers, a repeat of 2005 followed by 2006 would be nice!

The 21st is the longest day but sunrise and sunset don't change
symmetrically. The earliest sunrise is about now but the latest sunset
isn't until the 24th or 25th.
