Summer 2023 - General Discussion

July 2023 in Denmark had an average temperature of 15.9C, which is 1.0C below normal.

The average temp here was around 15º which is around 0.4º below normal.

The average rainfall was 140.8mm (normal is 65.8mm) so it was Denmark's wettest July in climatic history.

Lots of places had a poor July (by their standards).

I remember I think it was Autumn of 2015, as I had just split up with someone I nearly married (yikes) and we had week after week of gorgeous weather in late September and October, which helped me get through those trouble times! Around 16c every day and no wind and really calm. Did this happen or am I imagining things? The weather I mean!

Nice enough afternoon in Llandudno in North Wales, quite breezy but better than I expected.

I got the grass cut around 4pm thank god. There were a few drops as I was mowing, but it passed over. A heavy downpour now, so I'm very glad I didn't wait! It brightened up for a while around 5 but it's back to dull, and a strong breeze.

And this is one of the better days

I don't think you're imagining it. I also have good memories of autumn weather after the very bad summers of the late noughties and throughout the teenies. I especially remember September /October weather, because as a teacher, that is our first term of the school year. While many bemoan the Indian summers of being a case of too little too late, I, personally, love them. They help us all [teachers and kids] ease into the school year, shorten the winter and help to make up for bad summers. We got some amazing autumns after those really bad summers and I have the fingers very tightly crossed for this year.

Not far off single digits at 10pm.... Mount Dillon a cool 10 degrees currently.

Not just the nights, the evening heat that you can get in June and July is usually gone by Mid August onwards. That said I have a feeling though when the weather does eventually settle down properly we could end up with warm temperatures for the time of year. It would not surprise me at all if we end up with a warmer than average September for example.

Very sunny morning here in the far North. Let's hope it lasts for a few hours.

A very autumnal morning in Tralee. Pleasant, but more suited to late September than early August.

Cool is right, I put on the summer dress today, stepped outside said a few bleep words and it was back in for a coat to go with it!

Hoping the rain holds off long enough to cut the grass, cordless mower was struggling with the wet grass last weekend and looks like from this evening on is going to be re-run.

I don't tolerate heatwaves very well but I tolerated the spell of good weather at the end of may and into June. It was bearable and it wasn't too bad.

From the middle of June onwards the weather has been - cloudy, showers, rain, cold, more rain.

The f*ck all sun and heat has got to be bad for crops and growth. All we had was just a few weeks of good weather. This spell of wet and cold weather is just too prolonged now with no real breaks in the weather to give us a few days of dry and warm weather.

Any ideas as to how the winter is going to be? Without the summer heating up, will it be colder than usual?

Definitely a chill this evening in Cork, a miserable 12 degrees. Autumnal.

Arrived in Faro last night. Just glorious and just 2 hours away from that misery.
