Spring Forecast

March

I'm expecting an unsettled, chillier than average or average start to March but not particularly cold. But quite quickly I expect high pressure to reestablish over the UK, possibly mid-month. Which for a time could bring quite mild weather for March. I expect it to become quite a bit drier also, maybe very dry, the dry weather could be alleviated in some areas by one off downpours here and there. In my personal opinion, I do think we could see some exceptionally mild weather later in March too. That's just my opinion.

April in my view I think things may switch a bit to be on the cooler side, northerly winds could become prominent in this month, I do think there could be some snowfall when we do get northerly winds but whereabouts is obviously unknown at this stage. But personally I think April will be a cooler than average or average month. Rainfall I think it could be a bit drier than average for some parts or on the average side.


(Here's a Snippet For May) I plan to do a month ahead forecast for May closer to the time as it is so far away. May even do it for April too.


May in my opinion won't be at the grand heights of last years glorious May. However I don't think it'll be atrocious nonetheless. I think it'll be quite warm, and a thundery month in my opinion. Not as warm as 2018. Definitely not as dry as 2018. Rainfall wise I think it'll  be one of the wetter than average months of the Spring at this stage.

I plan to do detailed Month Ahead Forecasts for both May and April at later stages because they're a while off yet. But overall this is the general Spring forecast

I think it'll be a topsy turvy Spring, from really mild spells, to really chilly spells, to really dry spells to really quite unsettled spells.

Summer 2018 Analysis

Summer 2018 Analysis (Local Analysis) Hot Points Based on Local Records, it was the sunniest summer on record. Hottest Summer on record. Driest on record 2nd Sunniest June on record 2nd Sunniest July on record Slightly sunnier August than 2017, not as sunny as 2016. The Summer started off relatively warm right from the beginning in my area, 23 Celsius was recorded at the beginning of June. Around 5 degrees centigrade above average for my area. After a few days of good sunny weather at the beginning of June, temperatures dropped off a little bit, bringing cloudier and cooler weather temporarily. Temperatures dipped around the 3rd/4th of June to around 14-15 Celsius, but they shortly recovered up into the 20s by mid-month.  Barely any rain was recorded in the month of June for my local area, and the threat of a drought was increasingly on people's minds after a relatively dry May. Mid June brought sustained heat that would keep the temperatures ab
