Given the more unsettled outlook which has been showing up on the latest model output not just for the end of this month, but also for the month of July (not to mention what tends to happen in August during most years these days), I am rather impressed by the fact that this hasn't led to any "summer is over" posts on here so far, and not even any posts which suggest that this might now be "it" for our "summer".
Of course, if the same thing happened during the winter with the model output showing a milder outlook after a cold winter up until that point, there would no doubt at least be one "winter is over" post on here as a result.
I think a lot of that though has to do with the fact that the planet is warming up which in turn rather distorts the effects of more or less settled spells of weather on the temperature at differing times of the year due to the fact that the temperature will usually be above the long term average for the vast majority of the time.
If it was the case that the weather was going to be cooler for the rest of this summer with the temperature never climbing above average, there would be case for saying that's it for our summer even if we are still a long way from summer actually being over in terms of the date on our calendar.
Under this modern era of ongoing climate change though, even our most unsettled spells in summer are more likely to be average or above average in terms of the temperature rather than below whilst it becomes even hotter during our summer heatwaves. Since one of the conditions for a "decent" summer is that it should be warmer than average overall, this reduces the risk of any "summer is over" posts on here due to the fact that there is still a chance of it being warmer than average even if it is more unsettled which means that summer can't therefore be really "over".
In the winter though, it is a different story because even in cold weather, it doesn't really get as cold as it used to get. Milder spells on the other hand, tend to be even milder than they used to be with even some relatively cold spells seeing temperatures which are actually no lower than average.
This enhances the number of "winter is over" posts which you might get because one of the conditions which make up a decent winter is that it should be colder than average and that is not likely to be the case if the models are now pointing to a milder pattern.
The overall effect of all of this is that the number of "winter is over" posts on here are always going to vastly outnumber the number of "summer is over" posts on here even if we didn't also have the situation on place where this forum is usually always much busier during the winter than that is during the summer which further enhances that anomaly.
From that, I can therefore fully understand why we haven't had any "summer is over" posts on here so far, despite the latest model output.
