Ummm  - 16.1C with no confidence

16c for me please.

My view is the same as that of Leeds Lad and my guess is based on nothing more than gut instinct.  I don't go for pattern matching and I don't take LRF's seriously, or any forecast beyond five days for that matter.  I think it will be an average month.

16.15c

Well after an absolutely disastrous July, this month is going to be very difficult to guess.

I'll go for 15.91C

15.8 please GW

15.75 please GW.

16.2'c please

Will go for 16.0c please

15.7c please

16.4C a notable North/South split once again. A wet, humid and thundery month as southern areas will often be close to Spanish plumes.

Tricky call for August

I'll go for 15.7C without a great deal of belief

16.4C please GW.

16.4c please

Can I have a 15.45 please?  Unfortunately, I think Autumn might come rather earlier this year (it's already paid us a visit once or twice in the past week or two!), aided by these cold SSTs in the Atlantic.

15.4C please

Here we go then - the 'gut feeling prediction'!

As much as the models suggest some warmer conditions at times earlier in the month, any return to standard westerlies is likely to bring cooler than average conditions much as they did this month. If the N. Atlantic wasn't so cool out to our west at the moment, I'd go for an above average month, but as it is I'm going to say

15.7*C

...and grimace at what this means statistically, even if the surface weather needn't be all that bad at times (the past couple of days have been really pleasant down here!).

Cheers as always GW - have a great weekend. Same goes for the rest of you too, BBQs on Sunday in the south! 

If the August CET comes in at 15.5C or less it will be the second coldest summer since 1993 (only 2011 being colder).

Going for 16.15 C this month.

Below average, but trying to be more optimistic than some here.
