Latest model runs now showing a definite breakdown from the 25th with low pressure moving up from the south west, high pressure retreating north, and the low pressure comes NE, with low pressure then moving in from the Atlantic from 29th. Well 10 more days of fairly decent weather then, so July will have been a success overall. Not much hope for August though.
I expect that was a tongue in cheek comment Obviously no one part of the globe can keep bucking the trend in isolation. I'd say our weather's become more erratic in recent years but that has also included anomalously warm months.
It was tongue-in-cheek, but I hope the trend continues. I hate mild winters more than anything, hence why I would take Lincoln, Nebraska over Lincoln, England despite the latter having better summers in my eyes.
Like all these things though it won't continue, nature will balance out in time. It always does, like with the mild winters of the 1990's. There were similar periods of cool wet summers with freak winter cold snaps in the 60's, 80's and at times in the late 19th century but they were never anything more than general climatic variation IMHO.
Conversely I love mild winters. Just to not have to put up with freezing or near-freezing temperatures and that heathenly mess called snow. I would take Lincoln NE over Lincoln England for the summer but be much happier in a proper subtropical climate like northern Florida
Well, before we start getting a run of milder winters again, I hope we are able to get a few more cold winters in place. The past few winters feel 'normal' to me now, so it will be a shock to get a mild winter again. And hopefully they'll have lots of rain like January 2008. Or maybe freezing fog, mild days and cold nights like February 2008 - we even had an ice day that month.
Conversely the coldest winter months here have tended to be the cloudiest. I don't mind the appearance of snow but it gets old fast. It just lies here for ever and ever it seems, never really melting for days, just turning into slippery layers of ice everywhere.
