The current record high here is 13.7C. I thought it was incredible when April 2015's record high was 14.0C. Will probably hit 16C tomorrow, and not a day too early, lol. The biggest mindf**k is that Lapland might record Finland's highest temp for the month.
I have to give it to those cold epoch guys on twitter that chicagogeorge has posted. It played out as awful as the models initially showed.
Yes, after the mystical cold spells in February that remained exactly that.
Latest summer forecast. Dominated by high pressure, with average to warm temps. Will probably be better than recent years, which is welcome after having an entire decade of cooler, wetter and cloudier than average summers.
2013: June below, July above, August above. (Above overall)
2014: June above, July above, August below. (Above overall)
2015: June above, July average, August below. (Avg overall)
We still need another 3-4 years of above average summers to make up for 2007-2012.
I have reason to suspect that we are in a 1983 pattern with a quickly dying El Nino and what could be a quick transition to La Nina. Maybe a good analog year with this one at least for me
The PDO during the summer of 83's was strongly positive June 2.36 July 3.51 Aug 1.85 . Current PDO is also strongly positive. March 2.40
The AMO however was tilted negative June -0.036 July 0.003 August -0.140. Current AMO is positive Feb: 0.171 March: 0.204. That might play a role in how the summer pans out.

June 1983 was poor, but July was the 2nd warmest on record, and August was a bit warmer than average too (just like summer 2013). 1983 also saw high dewpoints across the British Isles; 20-24c accompanying the heat.

Were those dew points at peak heat hours, or just highest 24 hour dew point? Do you have a link? I'd like to see that.

On 1 August 2013, we had a temperature of 30C with a dew point of 21C at the same time. The max that day was 31C.
It's unusual for it to be hot and humid at the same time here. Usually, at temps of 30C, the dew will probably be around 15C or lower. The source of the heat is usually dry, and dry air is obviously more conductive to higher temps.
On 1 July last year, my PWS recorded a temp of 33C and a dew of 19C. It did briefly creep past 20C.

Yeah that's why I wanted to see the data. Of all the hot spells that I've examined in London, dew points are pretty low.
July 2006 London had very low dew points accompanied by warm temps. Green was the highest dp for the day
