    I've already written off this summer. I just find its psychologically wiser for me to do that. Expect the worst - it might not happen!

    Me too. The similarity between May 2013 and my recollection of May 2009 are alarming.

    temperatures will barely hit double figures over the next week and plenty of showers about, not exactly what we want for mid-May. The fire and central heating will be on for another week at least.

    I dont expect a cold summer at all just a cold may.

    Think June will be Ok with some warm sunshine even though there will be days with heavy showers

    As for July I have no idea except what usually is the most positive thing that happens is that the South and East get dry and the North and West get mist and drizzle so I think this might be the case.

    However the temperatures of 8 to 12c in May will not be repeated in June and July in my opinion. We may get 18 to 20c on a good few days or better, especially in June

    Charts look nice for some real +20C weather for at least a day or two, maybe more - esp inland obviously

    Those charts are still mainly showing north east or north west airflow, albeit from maritime tropical air thats collapsing back south so it'll at least be warm, probably low cloud and drizzle in the north and west though. ECMWF has a nice polar NW'erly for next week so nothing too warm on the horizon yet

    Believe me I'm firmly in your camp, cold weather loses its novelty around February never mind late May! As I mentioned last week, I've only experienced 15C once since last October so even one day around 18C would feel almost tropical at this stage

    Then your luck is about to change. Even the NW should be nudging 20C early next week. Vast difference from the horror show ye had during the East's fine spell a couple of weeks back.

    Edit.

    GFS Temps Tuesday Afternoon.

    Starting to look good for next week, no major heat or anything but it will definitely accelerate grass growth. I like the GFS in FI though, thats when the real fun would start but before we get there lets all enjoy the first few days of next week (and possibly beyond).

    Sunny with cool Northerly air is all I see.

    Once it's dry I don't mind too much either way.

    will definitely feel cool around the coastal margins, but a km or two inland and it will feel summery. Anyways, the strength of the sun will offset the cooler breezes

    so the current sunny/cloudy/warm/cool spell is going to continue until the weekend more or less and then things are looking like they might turn to sh!te for a while :(

    however, the charts are looking very interesting for the bank holiday weekend coming up!

    But how about this - 6th of June!!!!
