Yes. Yes they are. Quite remarkable comments sometimes on here.

 

 

 

Indeed. Sometimes the hysteria and hyperbole can be mildly entertaining, but it really grates after a while.

It's almost as if some members prefer naked attention-seeking over sober analysis of the models. 

Both the operational and the control go pretty scorchio on the GFS 6Z. Plenty of time to derail but I am starting to sniff something rather summery by the end of next week, even if it is of the "two hot days and a thunderstorm" variety.

I hate changeable summers, even if they have a handful of brief scorchio spells

I'd rather have 10 weeks of dry, sunny, totally settled weather even if the temp never got past 24/25c

Can I gently suggest trading Wigan Pier for a windward harbour in Juan Les Pins?

Can I kindly suggest that mistaking a Sintellser for a pie-eating scumbag from Wigan is deeply insulting. You can tell us apart as we St Helens folk have just the five fingers on each hand.

(and, loving the South of France - in fact, France in general - I'd merrily live in Juan les Pins; but the summer temp would exceed 25c almost all the days)

Anyway, I've experienced summers in the UK that have had 10 or so weeks of settled, dry sunny weather (OK, perhaps with the odd couple of days of rain/showers dotted about)

1976, 1995, 2018 spring to mind - with plenty of others in my 50 years of existence having probably briefer periods of great, sunny weather lasting 4+ weeks.

Lol gotta love the GFS 6z temps for next week 

Thursday 30c

Friday 33c

Saturday 32c

We set off for Gran Canaria on Thursday 16th

Any chance you could stay there until August? 

P.S. Enjoy!

Whilst us Wigan folk needed all our fingers to lift the Rugby League challenge cup last month.

Anyway back to the models.....

Me, too, especially hate changeable, thundery summers (i.e, those with brief, 3 hot days and a thunderstorm type, then cool and showery).

Much prefer prolonged settled, sunny weather, even if not particularly hot. Wouldn't mind brief cool, wet interludes, especially if there was prolonged heatwave.

Fighting talk!

If we had the weather many of us want we wouldn't have the landscape and flora and fauna (I hope) we also want.

Personally 3 hot days and a thunderstorm every 2 or 3 weeks is perfect for me.   I just wish we'd get some cold weather in winter once in a while!

My perfect summer would be 28c to 32c with the occasional 40c thrown in. Thunderstorms every few days to keep things green.
