Helen Willetts on Countryfile would agree with you. Last night she attributed the high average temp for Spring to the mild nights that we've had, and in particular pointed out that large parts of the country had had no frost during this time.

In my neck of the woods, May was the only month of the spring that produced any notable daytime warmth as far as I recall. March started not badly for weather with some reasonably springlike days but then went downhill from the second week onwards, with fairly typical temperatures for that time of year. The first fortnight of April was awful here and from what I recall reading on this forum at the time, it was little if any better elsewhere in the UK. Added to that, temperatures here on most days during that period seemed to be average at best or below, rather than above. April did warm up a bit after the weather improved during mid-month, but there was no notable warmth here unlike what we have had at times in numerous recent Aprils.

I agree with Helen Willetts that aside from the high temperatures of last month, it was must have been mainly the lack of cold nights and frost throughout the spring that was mostly behind the overall warmth of the season.

I think the mild nights are due to frequent cloudy conditions. I certainly haven't done much astrophotography at all for ages.

Glimmers again from the models of warmer/settled weather day 10+. We've been here before and it came to nothing. So v early days. Lots of crap to get through first.

I still see no sign of anything remotely resembling above average  temperatures in the medium term especially if the Met Office is anything to go by. From this weekend for the south at least rain and heavy showers are forecast and a sort of recovery to around just below normal temperatures for the London area

We've just been incredibly fortunate (or unlucky if you're a heat-hound) to end up in one of the colder than average areas!

It certainly doesn’t look great if your definition of summer is long periods of very warm or hot, sunny weather. The point here, I think, is how expectations have gradually shifted as a result of climate change. It’s perhaps noteworthy for this reason: I’m pretty sure we’re still around what was average in the 1961-1990 base period.

The lack of any sustained (few days plus) high temps at all, and a succession of temps even around 70+ for a sustained period (few days plus) for more than a couple of days IS utterly noteworthy in recent years here

(edit - just checked I didn’t write that I expect it to be 110f for 6 months straight)

Little ensemble support for the GFS 12z Op. But the ensembles do show an improving trend at least.

I'd prefer a high centred over the North Sea bringing in a SE'ly flow.

I was pointing out why you might have believed that to be the case. It should not be noteworthy in the context of what a normal British summer used to be.
