Witney must have the worst climate in the UK!!

I thought that was Aberdeen? 

Impressively low uppers from ECMP.

Wonder why no mentioned in the media about the north pole still extremely cold at this time of the year when it now getting 24 hours daylight/sunshine should warm things up over that to allow UK to start getting normal warm to hot spells by now?  Today now 1 month and 10 days left for longest day and all had gone wasted and not useable at all, either too cold when sunny or wet and cold.  

 

To be fair it has been a poor May in my locality. A combination of low temperatures, strong winds and showers have more often than not been an effective deterrent to gardening. I did a few hours this afternoon, but all in all it has not been pleasant.

It’s certainly not been a great month, but nor has it been a washout/write off. Most days of late have been average, or slightly below, with the odd day above. I guess what winds me up is the hyperbole - calling entire months write-offs, then writing off whole seasons. It has no basis in meteorological science.

 

 I am sure you will get some good weather for cricket , maybe not yet though. I was not much good at cricket but the village team still wanted me to play, shows how useless they were . I can remember fielding in some far off position getting steadily colder as the ball never seemed to come my way.

LOL. To adapt a famous saying, 'They also play who only stand and wait - and get very cold'

Weather wise it looks like a continuation of the southerly tracking jet with blocking to the east and/or north, putting the UK in cool and predominantly unsettled conditions. Not particularly inspiring but it is what it is.  I just hope we're not looking at another drenching summer like 2012.
