Feck all them graphs and figures,all i can say is this has been the worst ever summer in the U.K.
Don't think we have had any real settled weather,a few nice warm days,25c then a week of gales.
When i was a kid the school holidays meant 6 weeks of very hot sunny weather i reckon apart from early April a couple of nice weeks, its been awful.

This summer has been the UK's coolest since 1993, provisional Met Office figures indicate.

The figures cover 1 June to 29 August. But while this summer has been wetter than 2010, it has not been as wet as 2007, 2008 or 2009.

The temperature during August has been below normal by about one degree Celsius in most parts of the UK.

But the Met Office says it has been "close to normal" over central and eastern counties of England in August.

2010 was a year that was colder, drier and sunnier than average in most areas. This was due to prolonged periods of blocked weather patterns and an absence of westerly airstreams.


2010 was ranked the 12th coldest year in the previous one hundred years. The year both began and ended with widespread and disruptive snowfalls. December was recorded as one of the coldest calendar months in the last 100 years.
