Thank you Jesus that I don't live in Alaska! No desire to ever go there!! High 90's and low 100's by me and I am LOVING every minute of it!!!! Summer and warm weather are the best!!!!! I'm willing to bet that most of these warm weather haters on here have some pale skin compared to the rest of us who get out and enjoy the weather!!!!!
Apparently, there's talk of a heatwave coming to the BI. I can't wait! What a lovely send off from this wonderful steamy and sultry summer. I can see what all the mildies have been yammering on about on netweather.tv
Here's what's in store for us, isn't uh, um, hang-on!?
That above chart will be wet for everybody. No winners there.
The west had much of the better weather than the east in June+July. Much sunnier, oh places like Waddington (Lincolnshire) had an avg.max in July barely higher than Buxton's.
Easterly and southerly winds are good for here as anywhere else. Westerly winds = crap in high or low pressure.
August is a different matter with more dominant SW'ly winds and cloudier in the west. It's cloudier than all of April -July by a long way..
Manchester doesn't get that much rain for somewhere near the west coast. A strange anomaly about it though is thunderstorm activity. The Manchester Airport averages 15 days with thunder a year, well above the odds for the NW of England, and more than the SE of England (13 at Heathrow in the same time period). I can attest to this having worked there a lot. There were storms there that never happened in Buxton. They seem to form more often there when conditions are favourable. Must be topographically based in some way. They also seem to get a high incidence of winter thunderstorm events compared to other areas.
Just the standard summer 'fare' returning, I suppose, with east being warmer and sunnier, although to be fair this area of the country has been sunnier than London too, so maybe we're just doing better in general.
In NW England the best of summer is typically mid May to end of July. This period has the highest incidences of easterly winds, while the Atlantic crap generally returns in August. August is always much cloudier, often cooler and wetter from then onwards. Only in the SE'n half of the country does it seem to hold up to the rest of summer in terms of sun levels anyway. Even August 2003 was mostly rubbish here.
May is the sunniest month of the year here actually, in absolute and percentage terms, but August is still the second warmest month of the year and often has the hottest temperatures (such as this year and last, even if it's for 1 day).
