Exactly Col. We had friends staying for the last few days and we headed
for the beach at the weekend. It was OK when the sun shone but it felt
rather chilly in the wind. And when that sun went in, it was get the
fleeces out! It comes to something that one of the worst spells of
weather of the entire year so far, occurs in August.

I heard the sun may even shine this afternoon - a miracle (if it does).

Currently 14.3C at 10:45 - it has got be a joke (hasn't it?)

It's certainly been very poor by any standards. Monday felt fine, the best day of late, because there was virtually no wind, it was dry with spells of sunshine. The temperature still failed to hit 20C.

Overall the temperature has been way below normal. Mean max here now 19.1C, with a absolute maximum of 20.3C - below the normal MEAN max.

Bit more sun than you, 45 hours up at Bosullow from 1st - 8th.

Looks set to be a notably poor summer month, unless things change dramatically.

demonstrate what a poor summer month it's been so far (relative to the norm) particularly in the south. Little sign of a change in the gneral unsettled pattern.

Autumn must have begun, as I found the first spider in the bathtub this
morning. That's definitely a seasonal thing. I suppose that when the
weather gets too chilly they crawl in from outside via the overflow
pipe.

Here in Surrey, August has certainly been very poor so far, but June was
good (if dry, warm and sunny equates to "good"), as was July prior to
the last week or so of the month.
