As we step into July, the statistically warmest month of the year, the question on everyone's mind is: what does the weather have in store for our little corner of the world?
June, for a while, looked like it might post the first below-average month in a long time. However, the last seven days have seen the CET rise by 1.3c, and it's expected to be bang on or fractionally above average. For the second month in a row, we have all gone in the wrong direction. In May, we all predicted too low, and in June, we all predicted too high.

What will July bring? The models are not providing any clear signals, making the forecast for July quite unpredictable. A coolish start is likely, but I suspect warm to hot weather will assert itself during the month. Maybe for a change, it will coincide with the schools breaking up. Who knows? I am going for an uninspiring 16.85c for July. 
As always, can I have predictions in by midnight on the 30th of June? Please 
regards

Looks like the upgrade bug has struck Justin. 

---

First 10 days looking cool then maybe a warm up. No guarantees though another disappointing summer month?

---

Good grief! It does.

---

I saw Gavin P's written forecast for the week ahead yesterday before he binned it and it did exactly the same thing as Justin's (i.e. left a whole load of wraparound html in the text)

I think it has something to so with copying and pasting text from another source into the TWO posting as opposed to just typing it in directly but I can'r be 100% sure. Maybe Brian should take a look

---

Either paste in as plain text or use the remove formatting button or paste into the source view to avoid the formatting issues when html is used.

---

Just bumping this up until HT sticky’s it.

Cheers Caz. Just stickied it.   🙂

Hi Justin, 
Hi - just stickied this for you. I think this July I'll go for 16.0C.
Cheers. 
Hungry Tiger.    🙂

17.3c please

I think a mostly unsettled month but maybe an odd short lived hot spell.
Anyway, I'm going for an uninspiring 15.7 C, please.

Sorry it's a bit late, but here we go with July predictions 
Another narrow set of predictions, only 2.32c, separates the highest and lowest predictions, and the way the weather has been is not surprising. where will the month will end? Who knows? It's been a cold start, that's for sure.

I wonder what Hadley is now. Doesn't surprise me. I had a single figures minimum last night. 
The last July CET under 14C was in the 1960s.    🙂
