August 1991 was a good summer month but its virtually forgotten. No outstanding high maxima but consistently warm.

CET: 17.1 (+1.3)

Northern Ireland
Temp: 15.0 (1990 was slightly warmer)
Sunshine: 151.8hrs (sunniest since 1977)
Rainfall: 38.4mm (driest since 1983)
For Wick, it was the warmest August since 1947
Leuchars, the sunniest August since 1976.

Hastings recorded only 3mm of rainfall with 147% of the expected sunshine.

Maximum temperatures were nothing special, the highest maximum at Manchester Airport was just 26.6C on the 31st but 20+C was recorded on 21 days.

Heathrow recorded 27.9C on the 21st with only 1 day being sub 20C for the whole month.

The good spell continued into the early part of September with Heathrow recording 29.7C on the 1st of September.

1st August-10th September CET: 17.0
England and Wales rainfall 1st August-13th September: 28.3mm

So it was a very pleasant month.

I started high school during that month. Was a fairly decent month overall here (probably the best month of the summer of 1991 IMO) but the best spell was from about the 20th through to the end of the month, aside from a brief thundery interruption on the 22nd & 23rd.

Rather pleasant, yes. Mean was 17.4C here. and 10.9mm of rain. It was similar in temperature to August 2013.

 

People probably forget it because there were no hot days. Highest temperature here was 25.6C.

August and September 1991 were very nice.

It's interesting because summer 1991 was "back-loaded" (best of summer weather August and September) while Summer 1992 was the total opposite being "front loaded" (best of summer weather in May and June)

Also, both had warmish but wet July's, but those Juy's were taking the summer's in different directions.
