Official 2013 Summer Weather Thread

Is the Jet stream going to f**k off over Iceland and do it's job like it's supposed to?

THIS!

It seems to have spent the last 6 summers slap-bang over Britain, and looks like doing so again for the foreseeable future.

I really am sick to death of these cold, wet summers. Every soddin' year now.

When I retire, I'm outta here.

mmm - another thread on matters of pure speculation around events that cannot be reliably predicted where the outcome can only really be established once it has occurred. Quite a few of these at the moment...

Having said that playing the guessing game is often fun.

I decided to try and answer my own question and found this map on the site you use. Interesting stuff, you can see how it all fits in with the air temperature and settled/unsettled weather that's been forecast

That shows how far south the jet is pushing - right down over North Africa.

Does this mean Ethiopa might regain its reputation as 'the bread basket of Europe'?

End of may and I can only recall 3 proper nice days so far (just touching 20c).

Really shit

Quoting UKweatherforecast
Summary

So for now overall a better summer than 2012 is expected, with less rainfall overall, though temperatures overall looking rather disappointing.

I don't know that I can trust a website which publishes the word 'overall' three times in a single sentence. I just can't bear the thought of another miserably disappointing summer *sob*

Plus the report was entitled 'summary', whereas the forecast was anything but!

This is just awful.

The weather is mocking us with these angry looking dark grey clouds, but no rain - so inevitably when summer does finally appear, we'll end up with a bloody hose pipe ban.

I don't think so..

River levels are either normal or slightly above normal:

Whilst groundwater levels are about normal to slightly above (see page 11)
