Yikes, you're looking at an almost record cold month here!

The average is 5.8°C/13.8°C for the airport. Add 2°C on the minimum and 1°C on the maximum and that'll probably be the stats for the city.

Right yes, I meant that 8 degree minimum high!

Not too unusual for my area, happens one in every 3 years I'd say. And it hasn't happened for a while.

The coldest high for the airport since 1970 is 5.7°C. Chilly!

The long-time averages indicate that the May-July period might be 1-1.5C above normal, so hope for it, and then continue the trend until August.

A) Average maximum temperature: 22C
B) Average minimum temperature: 13C
C) Highest temperature: 32C
D) Lowest temperature: 7C
E) Minimum high: 14C
F) Maximum low: 21C
G) Precipitation days: 30
H) Snow days: 0
I) Thunderstorm days: 12
J) Rainfall total: 230 mm
K) Snowfall total: 0 cm
L) Sunshine hours: 870 hours

[dunno what to put here]

If the past two years are anything to go by..


A) Average maximum temperature - 21C
B) Average minimum temperature -12C
C) Highest temperature - 30C
D) Lowest temperature - 5C
E) Minimum high - 17C
F) Maximum low - 15C
G) Precipitation days - 23
H) Snow days - 0
I) Thunderstorm days - 5
J) Rainfall total - 130mm
K) Snowfall total - 0
L) Sunshine hours - 600

Past two years - July has been rather sunny, June and August less so but still around average. June and July have both been dry, with 25-35mm, while August has been wet (around 80mm). August 2013 was warm and wet, with thunderstorms, while August 2014 was cool and wet.

PS, Ariete, I think you got the maximum low and minimum high the wrong way around.

No, I didn't.

Looking at long time averages, there's a high probability for a >15C high in June, and 3 of 5 last summers have have a max low around 21C. (Last year 20.9C)

My brain is confused. I read minimum high as in 'highest minimum' for some reason. Will have to edit my post.

Yeah. I will hope for more (higher temps), but I want to get as many right based on stats, instead of just hoping for a real warm summer. So hope my predictions are conservative rather than optimistic.

For this thread, I'm using the meteorological definition of the northern hemisphere's summer (June, July, and August) rather than the astronomical one. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, use the same months and substitute the word "winter" for "summer".


A) Average maximum temperature
B) Average minimum temperature
C) Highest temperature
D) Lowest temperature
E) Minimum high
F) Maximum low
G) Precipitation days
H) Snow days
I) Thunderstorm days
J) Rainfall total
K) Snowfall total
L) Percentage of possible sunshine
M) Highest dewpoint of the entire summer
N) Lowest dewpoint of the entire summer
O) Average dewpoint at the time the daily high temperature occurs

Here are mine, I probably won't be close:
(Greenville, SC)

A: 32*C
B: 23*C
C: 41*C
D: 14*C
E: 24*C
F: 30*C
G: 36 days
H: 0 days
I: 11 days
J: 333 mm
K: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
L: 55%
M: I DON'T
N: KNOW ANYTHING
O: ABOUT DEWPOINTS
(I just use humidity %'s)
