Even if June turns out to be a washout it will only be redressing the balance of a very dry Spring . One third off Summer gone but you had a Summer in May as good as it gets the whole Summer some years.
Indeed, April and May have been better than many high summer months here, so I feel like I've had my sunshine quota for the year and anything in "real" summer is a bonus. I have a week booked off work from June 15 though so hoping the unsettled spell blows itself out by then. The long-term models are fluctuating so much that it's still too early to call.
I am entitled to my opinion and based on gut feeling and experience I think we can write it off. Time will tell, and happy to be wrong on this!
As you always are
It wouldn't be a summer on TWO without Moomin writing off an entire month at some point.
Is there a TWO Summer forecast coming as it's normally one of the better ones? Perhaps it's being frantically rewritten.
Potentially record breaking low temperatures on Saturday in Scotland.
5.1C is the all time June minimax to beat.

To be fair, he does have Arks to sell
The true holy grail scenario is for the cold front on the 6th to develop a closed circulation. Secondary low + marginally cold air = Snow. Snow = record low daytime temperatures!
It was issued earlier this morning.
Minimax. I have a new word to add to my databank. A cinema for midgets or a low budget car for people trying to reduce their sugar consumption?
The 6Z GFS restores a bit of cheer in the latter stages with temps back to the mid 20s in time for my week off work (15 June) and the chance of some storms for the south...
PS looks like a decent summer overall in the TWO forecast. August being possibly the warmest month - now that really would be a turn-up!

Lots of easterlies on the 6z goes with my thinking for a good chunk of summer perhaps hot but also quite wet with lots of continental thundery weather.
Are the GEFS picking up the first blowtorch of the summer? From the east?
Temperatures above average, occasional hot spells with thundery weather drifting in off the continent? Sign. Me. Up
Pleased to see the 06z GEFS entertaining the prospect of hotter weather towards mid-month

As low as that - Amazing.
It is the 1st of June . How you can write that i have no idea. We have had the driest spring in living memory and the sunniest so even the most blinkered person could see there might be some unsettled weather to come. This might be a short term change or a complete pattern change . We will have to wait and see . No forecast i have ever seen to this date over 40 years has ever correctly predicted a complete pattern change in advance.
Tbf it is contingent on near constant preciptation, if the sun comes out it will probably be a few degs warmer (though even then unlikely to be double digits).
The ultimate scenario is a secondary low coming into the NW coast near dawn. Evap cooling + precip will turn it to snow. And snow will hold the temps even lower. Its unlikely but such a scenario was responsible for the latest ever ice day on record (mid April snow event if I'm not mistaken).
Not ALWAYS. Just most of the time in fairness to me.
I know that, Kieren. To be fair to Matty, I think he was just trying to wind you up a little.
A max of 1c and heavy snow in June in parts of Scotland must be absolutely exceptional. Unbelievable charts.
