GFS in recent days has overcooked the shower risk. I remember seeing a discussion a few days ago about how much rain there would be this week. ICON and Arpege were both much nearer the mark than GFS. Having said that I've been in St Mawes, Cornwall this week and yesterday it was cool, quite windy and very wet. Didn't feel like the UK was enjoying the best start to summer since 1976.
Off topic - I am over the water from St. Mawes, and have been off work due to a recent emergency op for the past 2 weeks. To be fair, the weather has been amazing during this period, to the point I was actually feeling guilty for being in recovery during it!
This week I returned back to work, and yes it has been hit and miss, wet at times, and not so good. That said, the days rain yesterday was much needed and received!
2nd weekend in June down here I was participating in an ultra marathon that was brutal because of the extreme heat and sun. And this kind of stayed. This week has been the only diversion from that weather there has been since June. Sorry Brian, you chose the wrong week! 😁
In many years I have not known such a sustainable period of warmth, clear weather here.
