Default Very cold for July

Despite intermittent sunshine and no really thick cloud, it's felt very
cold indeed for July down here (Southampton) today. Mid-summer is
normally fairly temperate here even in changeable spells of weather -
the last cold blast of the spring normally occurring sometime in June
and the first of Autumn normally late August.

Default Very cold for July

Only made it up to 19.1C here today despite it being very sunny, that wind
had a definite 'chilly' feel to it.

A big change in temperature from yesterday which was gloriously warm, sunny
with hardly any wind.

Currently @ 17:15, 18.5C, RH 51%, DP 8.1C, 1011.4 mb, wind WNW 11.0 mph.

Currently 13.4C in Fleet, Hampshire, and raining too. It really does feel
cold.


Yesterday's high here was just 14.7°C, my 4th coolest July day in 23
years.

Default Very cold for July

Must be around 6 or 7 degrees below normal, equivalent to freezing in
January or single figures in October? What's strange is that such an
ordinary looking west or northwesterly airmass should produce such low
temperatures - normally to produce temperatures significantly below
normal, a strong blast from the north or northeast or (in winter only)
east or southeast is required. Or fog...

The difference is that in summer the ocean to the west is a source of
relatively cold air while in winter it is a source of relatively warm air.
The ocean surface temperature to the west of the British Isles varies by
only a few degrees between summer and winter.

Not really quite right. The sea temperature off Cornwall at the moment is 16
degrees. The average annual range in recent years being 10 degres (8 - 18).

The warmest places yesterday were in Devon & Cornwall (south coast areas
18-20 degrees, 18.7 here in Penzance). So only 1-2 degrees below normal
here. If anything the nearby sea had a slight warming affect on the cold air
mass, the largest negative anomalies generally being inland.

I was talking about the ocean surface temperature i.e. the surface
temperature of the water beyond the continental shelf edge. I agree that
the surface temperature of the inshore waters can be very different and
the summer/winter variation is very much greater. The characteristics of
the maritime airmasses are determined partly by the broadscale ocean
surface temperatures and partly by airmass origin although, as you say,
there can be local modification resulting from inshore sea surface
temperatures.

Currently 16C here in S Cambs and depressingly grey. A very unpleasant day.

Gavin.
