FI Charts ( T120+ onwards) Summer2024 **READ MOD NOTE IN FIRST

We will see. I still think it will be misty n windy out West like today with low rain low cloud and an annoying wind and very muggy. Does the sun exist anymore?

Are models still looking awful 😖? I've said it before and I'll say it again we've been stuck in this low pressure pattern since end of May, surely some stage in this month we will get even a few days of warmth like today

Yes exactly it's horrible this summer but fingers crossed 🤞 even a few days are nice at some stage this month that's all I'm asking for lol

Jeez your good lol

This morning's charts should come with a health warning!! After two dreadful Summer months it looks like August is going into full Autumn mode with wind and rain all on the menu!! As I and others mentioned several weeks don't rely on a decent August, it seems to be a Summer month confined to history for the last 2 decades

I think as long as that large very warm sst anomaly in the Atlantic persists our general Weather pattern we have been having will not change.

Considering the set up of the jet stream and how it would normally have dealt us a very wet and cool summer, this summer (so far) has been very good when you compare it to all the summers of 2007-2012 which had a very similar pattern.

Even this weekend's impactful weather has only yielded 2.7mm in this part of the country. It has been dry and cool up to mid-July and rather humid and dry since. More sunshine would be most welcome, but I'd take this over anything those awful 2007-2012 summers have dealt us.

June '23 really was a highlight of last summer and was the best bit of summer weather in recent memory. This summer has had really nothing for sun lovers, mostly overcast blandness .... depressing

Two good Augusts this century, ‘03 and ‘22 but remember the records show that there wasn’t a good August between 1959 and 1975 which brings us to this ‘European monsoon’ that Sryan wrote about in detail last week.
How I would love to experience an August like 1955 which by all accounts was extra special!

edit: agree with above post and admit going off topic but are there ANY charts worth posting at the moment?

Can you elaborate please I am not able to read charts wish I could

Thanks Gonzo appreciate that but it is very bad weather for us never ending

Mean sea level pressure for September. It's often the case that a poor August ( looking likely to be a poor August atm) is followed by a good September. This chart if it is near the mark for September confirms my belief that nothing much will change until that large area of very warm sst's in the Atlantic changes.

how long would this weather last for lads? It looks like it will start next Friday?

Poor grass growth has largely been down to cooler than normal temperatures at night throughout late spring and summer.

I'd say nearly all farmers will be welcoming this especially the lads with the combine harvesters waiting patiently.

I might actually get the kids pool out this year... fingers crossed.
