Global Warming
31 May 2020 10:05:07

This thread is for all comments, discussion and analysis of temperatures in the UK during June, with particular emphasis on the Central England Temperature (CET), for the simple reason that it is the longest running temperature series in the world with over 360 years of data. But you can comment on any interesting temperature statistics or data from across the UK, including your own back yard. 

For those taking part in the competition all CET predictions for June should be sent directly to me via the forum private message system. Do not post them directly into the thread. 

So far 2020 has been one of the warmest years on record. Will this continue into the summer?

Historic CET summary for June

1971-2000 8.1C (30 years) 14.1C

1981-2010 8.5C (30 years) 14.5C

2000-2019 9.0C (last 20 years) 14.9C

June CET record 18.2C 1846 

Here is a chart of the June CET for all years since 1961:

Yes thank you GW. A fairly conservative prediction sent 😁

That's astonishing how that CET average has shot up in the last 20 years.

I'm 36 and fairly confident that I will live to see both the May and June all time CET records smashed, even though we haven't come anywhere close to either in the last 100 years. With long term warming trends like that it seems inevitable !

  Eeek!  I almost missed this!  Lockdown must be affecting my internal calendar!  I only had one thing on my mind yesterday and that was having a barbecue with our son and his partner!

So, June's out of the starting blocks on a positive (mean temperature) note but now we're into a considerably cool spell that looks to continue through Sat, then ease a bit but mainly by day, with nights taking a little while to recover.

GFS 00z & 06z runs both drag the CET downward to a low of ~12.5°C on 10th, over 1°C below average for that point in the month.

Then comes a warm-up sufficient to neutralise the CET anomaly by the midpoint of June, at ~14°C. 

Both runs go on to feature near to slightly above average temperatures overall, with the CET ~14.3°C as of 20th.

 

Meanwhile, the ECM 00z is a LOT warmer for Thu-Fri (maximums low to mid-20s) and a fair bit warmer for Sat-Sun (mid-high 20s).


Considering the overall negative bias of GFS with temps (e.g. the 06z of 1st June had the CET at only 13.8°C to 4th), there's plenty of reason to anticipate a warmer than average CET by mid-month.

Considering an upsurge in AAM is expected by mid-month and which has been for some time (bar a wobble away for a few days prior to yesterday), which corresponds to a warm to very warm weather pattern for the UK, I'm already starting to suspect I should have gone at least half a degree higher with my CET estimate (14.98°C)! Somehow, I keep thinking chilly spells are going to hit harder than they do .

Increasing confidence that the CET will bottom out 10th-11th just below 13.0°C, before starting to climb considerably as warm conditions spread in from the southeast or east. Some days look very warm in places, while the nights become notably mild.

GFS 12z numbers take the CET estimate all the way up to 15.0°C as of 24th, but this is fraught with the usual increasingly massive caveats.

A first 9 day of June average here of 13.4c. A little below the norm after a very warm first couple of days.
