It been a tad cooler at 29.1C and 17.2C last night while yesterday was 31.1C and 18.8.  In the last 2 weeks it been constant between 27-32C which are similar average max temps for Oak Lawn, Chicago while night time here was between 15-20C. Despite that there was not a single wall to wall sunshine being achieved yet and some thunderstorms around so once again it like Oak Lawn as they rarely get wall to wall sunshine and near daily thunderstorms.


Once thing I notice this year that most of the real hot weather occur during the week days and cooler and some showers around during the weekends which give out threat to cancel the car boot sales but went ahead except 2 weeks ago.

This summer has been a very useful way of putting 2013 in context. It's clear July 2013 was miles better, warmer, drier than 2014, and it was in danger if being rather prematurely forgotten, like July 1994.

Yet despite all that this year we seem to be feeling it more. I think the secret is that for a summer to be remembered well, it has to have at least two very good months. We've had June and July, but also a very usable mid and late spring. Despite a lack if anything exceptional it's felt like a good summer.

2013 suffers in the same way as 1999 (July), 1997 (Aug), 1996 (June), 2010 (June), and 2009 (August) in being a single very good month surrounded by crap. The opposite in every way would be 1989, pretty good from May to September and still at the top of my summer index leaderboard for the extended summer season. This year could have a chance of emulating a bit of 1989.

It will be down to August to decide the summer now. Not looking hopeful at the moment - the change to poorer weather seems to have occurred today - but whatever it brings summer will not be as good as 2013. It may end up being a similar summer to 1971 or 1982 in my locality. Dreadful June, good July, mediocre August.

June: 2013 13.6C, 2014 15.1C (1.5C higher in 2014)


July: 2013 18.3C, 2014 (probably 17.7Cish) (0.6C lower in 2014)


So for us down here there is no way last June was "just as good if not better" than this June, unless you like cool weather. It was a cooler than average month coming after a relentlessly cold spring. Quite dry, with average sunshine, but this June was also dry.
