If we use the regular -0.5/+0.5 as a 'normal', of the 10 last Augusts 7 have been above normal, 2 normal and one below normal. In Turku this, not the country as a whole.
But but but: 5 of the 10 have also been wetter than normal!
And that one which was below normal was 2008, and I didn't live here then.
If we do that here, then we have 2 above normal, 1 normal, 7 below normal.
Recent summers, and just because I use the word 'catastrophic' don't think that I use the word lightly. These years with that label recorded either the dullest/coolest/wettest month on record
2016 - sh*t (so far) (disastrous June)
2015 - sh*t (disastrous August)
2014 - good (disastrous August)
2013 - good (disastrous June)
2012 - Catastrophic (disastrous June and July, poor August)
2011 - Catastropic (all months below average in every aspect)
2010 - Very poor (good first half, catastrophic August and dull July)
2009 - Very poor (dull, below average)
2008 - Catastrophic - no explanation needed
2007 - catastrophic - no explanation needed
2006 - excellent (poor August, but more than made up for by June, July, September)
Wonder if your 1991 to 2010 averages for August will reflect a downturn.
Our 1990-2016 average high for August is the same as the 81-10 average, though sun hours are obviously collapsing horribly, unless we get a few Augusts with positive anomalies. We will need about a decade of Augusts averaging 260 hrs to undo the damage of the last 10 years!

Maybe it is a reflection of the warm AMO causing more summer cloud.
Places with warm summers don't even notice if it's below average because it's still warm. But when places with cool summers get below average temperatures, it feels like there is no summer at all.
