Well, I have been around for 54 of them and this is the only summer I can remember being close to the summers of my childhood. I dont know what the official records say but my own personal gauge suggests it is. Nevet before have i been brave enough to travel without an umbrella for a full month . I had a mini crises on Wednesday when I arrived in Glasgow to rain and no umbrella or jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 1976 was the hottest period in my lifetime in the UK. Droughts across UK & Europe. 1995 (or was it 1996?) there was a heatwave around May/June but I don't recall if it lasted more than a few weeks. This has been the best and most sustained period of good weather I can remember since 1975. 9-10 weeks of good/great weather with only a handful of bad or indifferent days. Brilliant ! 🌞🌞🌞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviebee Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 In 2003 we had a cracking summer and I picked a fully ripe melon on July 19th. Remember it well cos it was so unusual and they're not normally ready until late August at the earliest. 2006 was another hot one. Again, I picked a melon in July. Got a couple of big ones this year (oooh matron) but they won't be ready this month. Still, it's a nice change from the crappy weather we usually get. I think we had our heating on one day last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it really has been that bit special, 1995 was the only summer that compares in my lifetime however i think 1976 would take some beating by all accounts. I mentioned it at the start of this thread, the weather pattern has been completely different from late last year nov/dec thats what brang about the “beast from the east” it would be great if we were entring a new cycle of weather where cold winter are followed by scorching summers Edited July 16, 2018 by hampden_loon2878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I remember 1995 as being wet ! I'm sure that was the year the TV never shut up about the heat wave down south and it was was shite here. Maybe just wet in the west? I was working in Greenock after all ☔ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working in Greenock after all ☔ Scotland was one of the hottest places in Europe for a few weeks (May/June?). My parents had friends from the south of France over in Dundee and they couldn't believe it. They also toured the highlands and west coast were some tarmac was melting on roads. It maybe only lasted a few weeks though unlike this long spell of good/great weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampden_loon2878 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Some scorcers of charts running of the GFS with hot,muggy weather heading our way fir the end of july going into August however just a slight different position of the high pressure and we will get some cracking thunderstorms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Fascinating to see the heat map comparison between the 1976 and 2018 heatwaves. While '76 was localised around the British Isles, this year it's everywhere! Man made impact on the climate or not, there's no doubt it's changing... https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jul/24/why-is-europe-going-through-a-heatwave Edited July 26, 2018 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hampden_loon2878 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Looking at the GFS charts for next weekend, absolutely phenomenal if you like cold and snow, i would go as far as saying its one of the best charts i have ever seen, just a pitty that its not a month later when the sea temperature is just that little bit cooler its over a week away and much can change, you can but hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lairdyfaeinverclyde Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Snow has arrived in Upper Port Glasgow. Not too bad but apparently more to come today. Supposed to go Christmas shopping with the Mrs but talked her out of it, concerned about driving, blah, blah, blah. She bought it. Ah well, a day in front of the telly watching football and horse racing, I'm gutted. Edited December 15, 2018 by Lairdyfaeinverclyde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Not predicted to hit us in Dundee/Broughty Ferry until 2-3pm fully. Wee lass has a dance exam finishing at 2.15pm so a quick shop for supplies then cosy in 😊. Its her birthday so Ive to make a Mexican taco feast and home made fritters to satisfy the palate of a discerning big 6 year old 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It's forecast to reach here around kick-off time this afternoon. In a sad statement of affairs about my once proud Yorkshire club, where men were men & women were glad of it, there is a serious risk that for the first time in the club's history the number of glove-wearers in the starting 11 could reach double figures. Those were the days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
