Latest GFS suggest chilly nights and even frosts for central England
on Saturday / Sunday nights. It would be a truly remarkable turnaround?

It can't come soon enough: I'm sick of this sunny weather already.
Office too hot to work in, house too hot, can't sleep at night,
windows open so house now full of midges, sunburned head... When does
winter begin? :-)

One might say it's typical for this time of year as the average date
for the start of the European Monsoon is June 1st. Europe warms up
during late May and cold air rushes in at the beginning of June.

Would it not be better to have a happy medium for temperature rather
than swinging from one extreme to another?

I don't know about the cloud, but we don't get the wild fluctuations
in temperature here.

THe lowest Max this month was 12.0C on 5th

Last 7 days:-
22 17.0
23 17.6
24 19.1
25 24.0
26 19.4 (fresher air back after 1 day of that hazy continental muck)
27 18.0
28 16.4 (held down by nearby mist - 19C on the nearby north coast)
29 looks like it'll be 18C - 19C - dependent on sunshine.

Yet another lovely day on the north Cornish coast, e.g.

Time to head out I think

TBH I would be happy to never see temps above 20C in April or above
25C in May, or above 30C at all, if it meant we never saw dire
cyclonic situations in the summer months. The Met Office long term
forecast for June suggests yet another wasted summer month. 1989 to
2006 seems a distant memory, almost a dream these days :-(
