Bit of thunder here. woke me up. thought i was under attack!! 🙁

Bastards ain’t they. They hype up the summer and get us all excited. One week of bliss then back to shitty British weather, I’m gonna stop listening to the weather man and decide myself how it will be!
I’m just hoping August will be better! :love:
august will be good its my birthday month its always good: D

the same people saying this are now talking up the bad weather… there are lots of journos what know fuck all about meterology, and also private “weather forecasters” with axes to grind trying to prove met office wrong..
the weather isn’t actually that bad for a summer in Great Britain.
Peoples expectations have been made unrealistic by a few “good” summers at the start of the 2000s. It might rain for a few hours and temperatures have been lower (albeit still in the early 20s most of the time here ) but it is not as bad as people think.
Bear in mind I don’t own a car and cycle every day often long distances, and if it really was crap I’d be the first to curse the weather…
Also nearly all media organisations are increasingly slack with updating their weather broadcasts from the met office – you get a new observation and forecast update every hour from Meto (check the website) but lots of media places run the same forecast video/audio file and only update every 4 hours (so 6 broadcasts per day).
This gives a wrong (and often worse) perception of the actual weather…
One thing I have noticed consistently is that weather is better midweek and deteriorates at the weekend. I am unfortunately yet to find any rational scientific reason for this though – even asked Binge who has a degree in environmental science and studied things like this at Uni and he couldn’t find an answer…..
GL you are absolutely right and here is why
It’s the weekend, so the great British heatwave is about to end – Times Online
thanks… I vaguely remember seeing something about traffic/pollution being a possible cause of this but haven’t until now been able to find any decent / reliable sources other than just mainstream journalists..
here is the full report of the German scientists referred to in the link ketordeath found
Detection of regional weekly weather cycles across Europe
edit: this report is less than a year old hence why none of us could find it last year, fair play to those Germans as it must have taken a lot of effort to get all the info together…
I’d definitely rather have (slightly) cooler weather than pollution..
met office have now rescinded their earlier long range forecast predicting a hot summer, replacing it with a more normal one for this nation (although not anywhere as bad as the flooding of 2007 / 2008). They have admitted to adding a certain amount of “false optimism” to the good weather allegedly to help journalists!!
BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Met Office cools summer forecast
My theory was shot to shit. I predicted it would be nice as we’ve already had two shit summers so this should be a decent one.
I have now realised the shit summer is entirely the fault of the Labour party. I blame Gordon Brown for this now.
