Even some poor summers have had a sort of consolatory nice spell in September. But this one so far is like a worsening extension of the awful August.
I can go even further than that by saying that September has generally in recent times been an extension to summer (as Gavin P. has even said a in a number of his videos in the past) and that was certainly the case last year. I can also recall that not too long ago, we actually had our driest September on record here in record as high pressure dominated our weather right throughout that period. If you ask anyone on the street as well even if they aren't exactly weather experts, they will usually always tell you that at least, September will probably be a decent month on the basis of recent experiences, even if we have just had a poor summer.
However, that is clearly not happening this year and because of that, it has become even clearer now that we probably actually ended up having our 'summer' back in May this year, since that was also when we had our highest temperatures of the year. With this unsettled weather which we're getting, it is beyond belief that even with that, we are still managing to remain drier than average during this month so far here in Edinburgh at a time when just everywhere else has been wetter than average, and substantially so in a number of places. As I mentioned in another thread earlier on today though, going by the number of rain days paints a completely different picture and so far, we haven't even manage to string together two successive back-to-back completely dry days at any point in time during this month so far.
