How one has fared with the weather this past week will have depended upon where one has been. I spent a week on Fort William last week and had only one fully dry day; the rest if the time it was either frequent showers persistent rain. I returned home yesterday to much drier, brighter and warmer weather though.
The models to my mind don't indicate the mother of all heatwaves at the moment but neither do they indicate a re-run of the horror show some parts of the country were experiencing this time in 2007. Fairly typical British summer fayre is how I would interpret the models at the moment.
Completely agree that the outlook is not as bad as 2007. It’s worse. I can see this catastrophic horror show of a summer finishing far wetter for E/NE Scotland than both 2007 and 2012. It is just unrelentingly awful.
There has been one fully dry day here all month and "fairly typical British Summer Fayre' are the last words that come to mind when viewing this ghastly precipitation chart http://www.wxmaps.org/pix/prec4.html. 50-60mm for Central & Eastern Scotland over the next week
Close to 20mm now predicted on Wednesday when a few days ago it was looking dry. Even 2007 and 2012 were nowhere near as persistently wet as this abysmal month has been.
Should those predictions come off that will be 150mm+ here for this month, easily beating June 1997’s record total of 140mm. In fact we will pretty much have had the entire seasonal average in just one month. The number of rain days is also on track to set a new record. Beyond dreadful
