Get Dark Sky if you're on iPhone, always very reliable. I haven't found anything on Android even close to how good it was since Apple purchased it and made it iPhone only.

Cheers, i'll give it a try. You'll owe me £3.49 if it's no better
, which is about the same as a pint, coincidentally.

As others have said, and in stark contrast to the norm, we have had a glorious summer up here. Many times the hottest place in the UK was north of the border. Must've been a 9 or 10 week period where there was no rain, was watering the garden every day and the grass still wasn't green!
I do hope for plenty of snow though.

Another vote for Dark Sky and the accuracy of the alerts it kicks out.
A few years back, it was early morning and I was sitting in the office. My wrist pinged and it said "Snow starting". I laughed and showed it to my colleagues.
Two minutes later it started snowing.

On Android unfortunately, so will just have to stick to moaning about it when they get it wrong.
Yes, it's been lovely up here. Not quite as good as 2018, though. As a matter of fact, it's bright sunshine right now.
Only 65% of the Average Sun Duration in the south, been a fabulous Summer up north though.. All to do with the Jet Stream
and a pesky high being in the wrong place for us lol

No snow please. Can’t stand the stuff.
Solar cycle is in a part which tends to work towards colder winters in the UK but it isn't that simple. A lot of other factors are working against deep cold developing over the arctic to draw from even if other conditions are favourable but so far this year there has been an unusual persistence of high pressure over Greenland and lower pressure over mainland Europe which would favour a colder winter but probably typically it will change just as it would be most useful for winter :s (it pretty much settled in right after it would have been useful for winter 2020/21).
Probably a pretty meh winter overall with some periods of stormy weather towing in some brief cold snaps but largely unsettled and meh.
Nah 2030s for that.

27c in the highlands wasn't it the last week or so? Its been an above average summer everywhere except the south
1c hotter than average across the country despite the chilly south's rotten summer
I'm genuinely forgetting what the stuff looks like its been getting on for 10 years since theres been anything other than an overnight dusting last two years hasn't even been that
It's been hot here this summer. Hot and dry. Nice if you like that sort of thing. I do not like that sort of thing.
We also do not have snow here, which is a pity.
Could somebody tell me what a hurricane pancake looks like? I do not believe we have those, either.

I'd like it to be dry and not too cold. It will probably be like Ferenginar.

Like the newspapers forecasted a hot 2nd half of August. It was dreary. I had some nice weather for my stay in Suffolk during the 2nd week of Aug.
