Airport parking is pretty cheap tbh. I've just paid £49 for ten days parking at the jetpark at Manchester Airport. Car hire at the other end at Alicante airport has cost about £240 though. Flights were £347 ish, and accommodation is free as it's my grans place. We're going to Cyprus in September too, but that one wasn't so cheap.
We had a week in Devon in May 2015 for a wedding, and the weather was mostly very nice through the day.
Last time I was in Cyprus was way back in 2001. It wasn't cheap back then either! But the island is gorgeous. We stayed in Lemesos. When we went to the capital, I remember Lefkosia being stifling hot. I think it reached 44-45C??
You'd at least think a place would see a normal summer fairly regularly though. I'm not even asking for a repeat of 1995. Just a run of normal summers again.
Apparently the best analogue for this summer is 1957, which was mostly crap. This will be the 12th August in a row with below average sun, maybe we can make 15 or even 20 in a row?
Agreed, try telling that to BBC Wales though, they don't seem to know that we exist
My uncle lives just outside Swansea & the first time we visited him there it was like we had gone back in time by about 70 years lol. Where he lives reminds me of Royston Vasey
Yeah I agree. It's very unusual to have all these record cloudy months and summers in such a short timespan. There must be a reason for it other than purely bad luck?
I would like to spend a week touring around the south coast of England, especially Cornwall, and then a week in Spain. That would be an ideal vaca for me.
I have a feeling that this summer will be a total disaster, and only see 80F on 5-10 days. Something like 2007 or 2012. I can pretty much guarantee now that we won't reach 200 hours sun in any month this year.
You and George seem to believe the same thing for both the eastern US and the UK this summer. Why? Are we supposed to have a negative NAO all summer? Negative AO? What do you think will drive this?

What's weird is we have been having negative NAO every summer with minimal affect yet now it's supposed to affect us???
I never knew Europe was so cool. Is London typically above 21 C in the May through August months? I would be mortified to wear a jacket in the summer.
It would help if the Met Office had a statistical climate page like NOAA where you can choose "how many days above xx temp, or below xx temp". They don't seem to have that for free like NOAA.
And no it is not that cool all summer. A nice July day in London would feature 75F and partly cloudy. I was there around mid to late May in 1998 and it was gorgeous. Sunny and 70's the whole time.
Wasn't 1976 a notoriously good summer? I wonder if any major films were made that year. It would be fun to watch to see just how nice that summer was.
1976 was the warmest summer on record with average highs above 25c, above average sun, and below average rainfall in all 3 summer months. Minima were nothing special though.
