It’s the first day of the school summer holidays here toda. It’s 8 am and there has been over 20 mm of rain so far today and it’s still pouring. Need I say more?

Today Saturday just 12 degrees and a very strong and cold breeze  coupled with heavy driving rain  hardly summer!

Incorrect local Met Office forecast #1,584 of the year

“Plenty of dry weather around to start the weekend although the chance of an odd shower”

Hasn’t stopped raining all morning here, and it’s clear from the radar there are showers or prolonged rain across the entire south west

Yet another stinking awful Sunday to round off one of the vilest first weeks of July ever recorded. 
Almost every single month since November 2022 has had worse weekend weather than weekday and it just keeps on getting more prepestorous with around half of the rainfall in this repulsive summer occuring at the weekends. No rational explanation behind this ludicrous never ending hell. It truly is being engineered by Satan. 
Worst Sunday sunshine average between 2007 and 2012 was 3.73 hours. Last year it sunk to 3.52 hours and this year 3.43 hours before yet another crap total is added and with all the dullest months of the year still to come. It's just beyond excruciating. The same filthy grey unusable drizzly crud week in week out.
An absolutely woeful 19 hours sun for the first week of this horror show month which is the second lowest total in my records after 2012. The last 12 days have had under 40 hours in total with a max daily duration of 6.3 hours which could be achieved any time of year, bar a few weeks round the solstice. 
Yet again a 21st Century summer permacast special like nothing we ever saw in history. Even the poorest of summers had an element of day to day variability. Not stagnant cloud that stuck around refusing to budge day after day for weeks on end.

Yet another monumentally vile day for the local Holiday Monday. The 14th crap day in a row. Just two months on from the worst ever May Holiday Weekend we are now enduring the worst ever July Holiday Weekend. 12.4C and hammering down with rain yet again.

Three consecutive days with 10mm+ which has never happened before in July in my records. Not even in 2007 and 2012. That's how bad it is and from the looks of things today could be the fourth.

Day after day the NE is being plagued by stagnant cloud and rain which just sits there and won't shift. At the same time we are enduring this horrific filth Glasgow had 19 hours of sunshine at the weekend showing how ridiculous and abnormal this hellish pattern is. The antithesis of normal.

21 hours of sun and 50mm of rain so far. Nowhere else on the planet has averages this poor at the height of summer. Not even Torshavn. 
Legitimately feels even worse than 2012. Back then we managed two clear afternoons with temps of 20C. Nothing remotely summerlike from this malevolent month. Don't think there has been less than four oktas of cloud at any point. It's not come close to reaching 20C and it's looking like the umpteenth month in the past two years to reach the full monthly average rainfall in the first half.

It's more grotesque and unpleasant than any words could do justice to. A steaming pile of horse manure like nothing on earth ever endured within living memory. The 12-month rolling rain total has been above 1200mm for over three months bar a brief period of three days in May when it dropped to 1196mm. Could even increase this month which is beyond surreal given how wet last July was.

London is in for a 12 hour rain fest from 8pm if the Met Office app is to be believed then by the weekend once again cool temperatures creeping back in really beginning to feel like at least the first 2/3 of summer is going to be poor especially with the jet stream far south

I've been watching the rain slowly edging north since I got up. Painfully slow progress, so when the heavier stuff arrives, I assume this is why they have given this warning because it will takes ages to pass by. A dire/dour day here in south Dorset. Anyone on holiday under a tent will be able to enjoy the pitter patter of raindrops tonight.

i notice London got a fair cop of rain and cold temperatures than in the Midlands last few days which so far escaped the wetness but not hte coldness and some shallow grass areas started to parched which I did not expected it under this unsettled cold summer pattern so it must had been so dry lately.

Cloudy now here but was pleasant warmer and sunnier earlier on until early afternoon.

SE Europe continues to boil which often means poor summer weather here. AAM looks like rising soon though should help push the Azores HP our way, that's the the theory anyway.  A straw.

I really have a feeling of dread for our summer weather at least in the short to medium term. The rain has settled in now at 7.30pm  for what looks like 9-10 hours of non stop bursts . I really dont see any change in this pattern anytime soon. Someone please prove me wrong...

Basically you want it to be rising above neutral as this can often push the Azores toward the UK. It's not an exact science but it's desperate times.

Maybe August can save summer, but this has been another abysmal one so far, as bad as last summer!

How it like now from Jan to Dec: 9, 10, 11, 12, 14. 16, 18, 19, 20C, !7C, 14C 11C.  Sept the warmest month.   Very boring and can't see a return to weather recording data if this going to be like that so rack off modern UK climate.   AC units was desire needs during the warming 1990's summers and early 2000's now not possible.

This has been an amazing summer, running has actually been comfortable! Don't like the rain but there hasn't been that much. Ideal day is mid to high teens, and cloud blocking the sun so its not dazzling.

Have to laugh when I read through the Huff Post every day telling us when a heatwave is due to reach UK shores. Talk about hopecasting! The law of averages says they must be right eventually.

September is often an extension of summer (down South at least) so I agree that might turn out to be our warmest and most settled month this year.
