Would rather have lived through summer 1954 than the much worse summers of 2007 and 2012.


While summer 2019 is not has bad as any of them, so far, the year as a whole is much worse. All those years had decent weather in spring whereas 2019 is just staggeringly awful without even the snow that other poor spring/summer years like 1985 and 1993 had.

Not to mention the utterly dire evening/weekend weather. Lucky if there's even been five days all year when I've been able to sit out in the garden after work. Not in all the years I have been working has it been this bad - probably have to go back to 1993 for something as unrelentingly awful and I was still at school then.


Almost given up trying to plan a day out on a Saturday as it is just the same disgusting, horrifically depressing grey crap week in week out. If anything it's just getting worse. More grey garbage today only with the added misery of thick murk and appalling visibility as yet again the wind comes from the repulsive SE quadrant. Looking like potentially the third sunless day out of four 


On course to outdo even 2011 and 2014 for sheer horror weekend weather. Just one mostly sunny Saturday since the start of April and even that was a cooler than average day. Basically no nice warm and sunny weather at all. Even Easter Saturday which remains the warmest day of the year was only sunny in the afternoon.


Looking at the whole of the April to September period the best year for Saturday weather was last year when there were 12 mostly sunny Saturdays and the worst were 2011 and 2014 (no surprises there) when there were only six so we still have a long way to go to even catch up with those horrors. No year had fewer than three by this point.


No wonder all everyone is talking about is how crap the weather has been this year and as usually the stats back it up. Another desperately SAD and depressing horror show. Just had an email offering me deals on summer essentials such as sandals and t-shirts. What a joke as the only summer essentials here these days are raincoats, SAD lamps and Vitamin D pills

Yet another horrific day here. 10th consecutive day of rain in this horrendous dogsick so called summer. It's absolutely appalling and will not get better. This summer will go down in history as the worst of our lifetime. Rain every day for seems like an eternity it is absolutely rancid disgusting bilge and vomit inducing. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😓😴🥵🥵🤢🤢🤢😵😵😵😡😡😡
It really might as well rain until September or November, and no doubt when winter arrives, we will be "blessed" with perfect summer charts in the height of winter. This country really does produce the worst of the worst. It never ceases to disappoint.
Yes, summer 2019 (and winter 2019-20) are over. Rancid disgusting crapfest. 😡😵🤢🥵😴😓🤬

There's really been no hope for poor Richard since he stopped taking his medication!  Thankfully Doc steps in with a bit of reality medicine now and again. 


Anyway, we had a lovely sunny morning then showers from mid afternoon but at least the weather is behaving more like June than November now, unlike the previous four days!

Here in Edinburgh, we have had barely any rain at all over the last week and we haven't had anything like the amount of rain which other parts of the UK have been getting, especially down south and it seems though we have still never managed to shake off that ongoing trend from this time last year where any wet spells end up just being very brief with the next significant dry spell always being just around the corner.

The model output does indicate that there could be further downpours for the southerners in the coming days, although even these aren't likely to be quite as bad as what has being going on down there recently. For here though, the model output continues to show virtually nothing for us in terms of rainfall and I'm struggling at the moment to see just where our next significant rainfall is actually going to come from.

This month did start off on a wet note here, but it is now looking increasingly likely that we will actually end up with no more than average rainfall here and I wouldn't even be surprised if we actually came out slightly drier than average in the end overall during this month with the way that this is going.

As far as the temperatures are concerned, this has been a cold month here overall, and we still haven't yet had a single day during this month where our daytime maximum temperatures have been above average for this time of the year. However, recent days haven't been as cold as what they have been lately, so everything appears to be slowly heading in the right direction there.

As far as sunshine is concerned, this has been a very dull month so far with just the one really sunny day within it. Even now, that continues to remain the case. However, we have started to get a little more in the way of sunshine during recent days than what we were getting beforehand, so even that is at least a small step in the right direction.

When you add all of that together, this might actually end up being not such a bad summer here after all as what it had looked at one point in time, as it would be. As you may well have guessed, this is therefore another gloat from me rather than a moan.

In June 2012 we managed a 4 day run without rain(17th - 21st) and temperatures of 22 - 23c ! , not manged a 2 day run without rain this June and since the 1st very poor temperatures . After a promising start with some sunshine this morning it clouded over and started raining around 1130 am today. A real horrid spell of weather , dare I say vomit inducing

What I would like to complain about is that the weather in Northern Portugal, where I'm going next month is worse than here 


Actually been reasonable the past few days with plenty of sun and the temperature reaching 19.7C at 5:30pm today. Same time in Portugal weather was overcast and drizzly and only 17C


This forecast is simply vile https://www.theweathernetwork.com/pt/weather/braga/guimaraes


Only two days in the next week with over 4 hours sun and temperatures struggling to low 20s when the average is 25C in June and 27C in July.


Really getting concerned as the predicted change to the normal full sun just never comes to fruition. Truly will be the year without summer for me if that's the rot I'll be getting on my holiday

This unsettled weather is so typical of a negative NAO and Negative AO. Sods law we never really had this during the winter. the PV was so strong especially during February and the Ao and NAO was so positive with that Azores HP. Now of course when we are in summer we get weeks or months of negative NAO and AO - hence this wet or unsettled weather. Reminds me on June 2012. - Jubilee year was a washout as far as I can recall!?


In a way I don't mind cool summers. Last year we were spoilt with hot dry weather from Mid April to more or less mid August! With the peak of the warmth around end of June 2018 to early/mid July 2018.


The heat last year was exhausting - especially at night as well.


I don't mind warm weather during the day but at night it's a no go!! I recall myself and many other members were complaining about high indoor nighttime minimums! There were some nights where there indoor room temp never dipped below 25c - this occurred weeks on end!  Glad it's not a repeat of those uncomfortably hot nights this year! 


But yes some sun would be much a appreciated! I could do with drying some clothes outdoors at some point!

Ah nights last year were nothing out of the norm generally - sure a couple of very warm +20C but most were not.

Despite the lack of any real warmth this June nights are still warming to normal June.

This coming week shall see 14-16C overnight lows establishing right on cue.

It's a nice and sunny morning here in Edinburgh just now, but I would really like to seeing some rain here.

In normal everyday life, that wouldn't be the case since I like just about everyone else would actually rather be seeing a decent summer.

When I come to this forum though, I like to go by the type of weather which is the most interesting in terms of actually reporting that, rather than the actual weather which I would normally want to be seeing in real life and there can sometimes be a lot of differences between those two ideals.

Furthermore, it just doesn't seem fair to me that just about everyone else on this forum gets to report some interesting weather on their area (even though that may not be the actual sort of weather which they would like to be seeing) whilst there is almost constantly nothing ever very interesting to report here.

Scotland after all, is part of that bigger country that is known as the UK and we even voted to remain that way back in 2014.

In terms of our weather though, I just don't see the point in that continuing to be the case if we can't get to at least join the party along with the English, Welsh and Northern Irish members of this forum in terms of actually having some interesting weather in their area which is actually worth reporting.

That at least for now though, is something which is just not happening, and which hasn't been happening for quite a while now. Now, there is a reason why I am a member of this forum and a large part of that comes from my interest in the weather.

However, I also believe there is no point in being part of any forum where I have no interest whatsoever in the very subject matters which such a forum covers.

What has been happening recently is that there has been so little in the way of interesting weather to report here recently that this has been constantly draining away my actual interest in the weather as a result, because it is all just getting a bit boring now. This is then compounded by the fact that the rest of the country still appear to be getting more in the way of interesting weather that is worth reporting.

The way that this is going, I can the time coming very soon where I will end up just not wanting to be a part of this forum any more not because of this forum itself or its members, but because of the fact that I am simply no longer interested in the weather in the way in which I once was a result of it all becoming a lot more boring now.

To me, it will be a very sad day indeed, if it ever comes to that, but I have come very close to just packing in this forum altogether as a result on a number of occasions just recently. That is therefore, something which I can see happening very soon unless something drastically changes very soon and we actually get some interesting weather here which is actually worth reporting on this forum.

Let's just hope that this does indeed end up being final outcome because at the end of the day, I would much rather continue to play an active part on this forum with some interesting content to report, rather than simply being pushed away as a result of there being virtually nothing interesting to report (that is now in grave danger of happening very soon as things stand just now).

John, I wouldn’t say I’ve had any interesting weather but I do like to follow what others are getting.  Here at the moment it’s overcast and damp!  We had a dry April and May, then last week we had two days of moderate rain and four days of grey sky.  Not what anyone would call interesting!


There were some amazing thunder storms on the South coast around Eastbourne overnight though and that was very interesting even though it was over 200 miles away!  Following that on the lightning map and discussing it on the TWO forum was interesting!

 However, I'm sure that normal service will be resumed there before too long.
