Just notice about the clouds that seem to be more stubborn to clear off and go as far as to over Irish sea not just at eastern counties.  Normally it burn off max at 11am in Surrey area when I used to live there so I assumed W Midands see clearance earlier at 9am to 19am not  2 to 3pm.  Lot of massive forecast failures this week so next week possible northerly will see better sunshine, no cloudy mornings and temps indoors get much warmer again.

The set-up (HP centred to our NE and ridging over the UK) that was being modelled to bring settled weather to most of the country has steadily been downgraded to 4/5 days then a return of showers (for MBY, it was showing nice all this week and through all of next week; now the breakdown will start Saturday night).

Been the same story all through summer (away from the far SE): models all show a spell of HP-dominated weather stretching for a week+ and then, as we approach the start of that, the models begin to shorten and shorten the length of the spell, until it's just a couple/few days of nice weather then back to crap.

We, in South Yorkshire, had a lot of brilliant sunshine from 11 to 18 Sept, even if there were afternoon showers on 11th and 12th (although Sheffield stayed dry on the latter date). The only exception was on 15th (Sunday) when there was showery rain.
However, on 16th and 17th (Monday and Tuesday) there was unbroken brilliant sunshine all day with practically cloudless skies. Not had this for a very long time and it was a very pleasant change! The 18th (Wednesday) had some cloud in the morning, burning off to bring plenty of pleasant afternoon sunshine.
This sunny spell gradually came to an end. On 19th (Thursday), it was dull and misty in the morning but there was sunny spells in the afternoon, but we have lost this brightness and was very hazy.
Today, it was back to gloom and doom that often dominated the last few months; it was very dull and the cloud failed to break in the afternoon, in fact, it was heavy clouds that looked quite threatening.

Can't get a single decent month in this grotesque year. Just relentless garbage.

This vile easterly grotfest September is up there with the very worst and I'm so glad I spent the first third in Turkey as it looked like the worst ever start to September. Absolutely hideous. At least 1995 was interesting, an adjective that could defintely not be applied to this tedious atrocity.

The last week has once again been the work of Satan. 47 hours of sun from Monday to Thursday then the permacast filth arrives on cue for the Holiday Weekend. No sun on Friday, 18 minutes yesterday, nothing at all today with yet another repugnant sheet of crap in place and just 10 degrees which it's been stuck on since yesterday evening.

Utterly dire temperatures with horrible cold days and disgusting mild nights. The worst possible combination. There has been very few cold nights or warm days this month but plenty of cold days and mild nights. Disgusting but typical 21st Century weather hell. It was the same in 2001, 2010, 2017. Yet in the 20th Century cool, cloudy Septembers, like 1992 and 1993, still had cold nights. Something that doesn't seem possible now which just goes to show how much worse poor weather has become with an endless grey blanket that never breaks. 

The worst aspect of the past two years hasn't been the ludicrous excess of rainfall unparalleled within living memory but the persistence of the abhorrent and irrational Weekend Curse. Of the 22 months since November 2022 only five have had better weekend weather than weekday which is beyond credulity and this month is on course to be the worst of all.

Weekends this month currently averaging a beyond dismal 2.33 hours, which is easily the lowest I've recorded for September in 18 years, and it will be dragged down further once todays crapfest is added to the mix. Yet weekdays averaging an impressive 6.62 hours giving a Weekend Curse score of just 35% which would beat the disgraceful 38% recorded in April 2023.

Putrid, ludicrous and detestable. No wonder people are saying the weather feels engineered. Seems like the results of a cloud seeding experiment gone wrong. Utterly horrific.

The horrific spell of tedious, tiresome and ultra depressing dross continues. 

It's just worse than ever. A horrifically cold 9.3C under the never ending blanket of filth. Looking like the third Holiday Monday out of four, in 2024,  here with zero sunshine which is such a spectacularly awful situation that requires a special explanation. Given that April, May and September average only 2-3 days per month with zero sunshine, for all three Holiday Mondays in those months to record zero sunshine would be such a low probability it shouldn't be happening. 

Likewise three out of four Sundays in September having zero sunshine and it being the dullest day of the week by some margin two years on the trot defies any logical explanation. 

It's just unbearable having to endure this at this time of year when there is nothing but months of grim excruiciating rubbish ahead.

I think back to some of the worst years I have endured such as 1998 and 2002 and both were preferable to the soul destroying horror show of 2024. I spent the September Holiday weekend of 2002 in Arrochar and it was similar set-up to what we have now. There I had glorious sunshine and back here it wasn't great under the easterlies but a couple of hours sun a day. A far cry from this abhorrent, total write-off situation where the blanket of gloom is just everywhere and there is no escape.

I find myself agreeing more and more with Richard.
After a beautiful holiday in Portugal with no clouds for 21days and temperaturesof 25-30 C, I'm back in permacast!
5 days of gloom, drizzle and haar with a temperature range of 9-13 C throughout. The heating is on and I've gone from shorts and t-shirts to waterprofs, jumpers, gloves and woolly hats on my daily walks......in September for goodness sake!
If you remember we had no Spring this year, it was grey, cold and wet just like now!
A depressing year of weather for sure and I know it's my own fault for living in the NE next to the inhospitable cold, grey North Sea
I'm quite jealous of our southern England contingent that seem to have 21 C+ for months on end. A friend has been up from London for a few days and he left London in 25 C and humid sunshine to emerge here at Waverley to fog, drizzle and 12 C. He couldn't see the castle. Luckily he knows Edinburgh and came prepared for winter but other travellers on the train were in shorts and t-shirts!
Moan over for now.....a cold northerly is on the way...we may see some sun though 🤔

Not worn those (in terms of keeping hands warm) since I was 5, and likewise for a woolly hat. I don't even have the latter any more, and I only have one jumper. I wear polo shirts year round, and alternate between a light summer coat and a thicker (but not insulated) one for winter.

Maybe one day we'll get a winter where I need to wear such clothes, or maybe when "the great chill" sets in when I'm old - the elderly do feel the cold- but as for wearing them when it's 9 to 13? No way.

Here in the Massif Central in France the weather is abysmal for September. Really wet, cool and dismal, much like the test of northwestern Europe. He's been a really terrible year of weather. Very wet and cool for most of spring. Didn't get any summer type weather till late July. August was good. But this year and nine months in, I'd say we have had 5 weeks of decent weather. Terrible really considering we are 5 hours from the Med.

Another vile day that is a contender for the worst September day I've experienced. Cold, wet and sunless with no redeeming features. Max of 11C but in single figures much of the time and down to just 8C by 4pm. Makes the past four days look almost acceptable by comparison.

7th sunless day of the month equalling the the highest total I recorded in 2017. Total of 51 sunless days for the year is already higher than my average for 2007-23 of 49.8 days with the worst months still to come. There have been a wrist-slittingly awful 78 completely sunless days since the start of last October. An utterly horrific 12-month period of unrelenting garbage like nothing I've ever experienced before.

Looks like it will continue to barely reach double figures for the rest of the week. Just about the coldest and most bleak spell seen in September within living memory. Only 1974 would come anywhere close. That had an average max of just 11C for the final third. Even getting that could prove a challenge this year with some of the breathtakingly awful output I've seen.

Totally agree, but such temps have an added remarkability given the time of year. 

Max so far here today is 10.9c, with an overnight low of 4.2c and it feels all the more fresh given the stiff, sunless breeze. 

As BG says, there is something going on with the pattern recently. Goes from northerly to southerly and back again and so on. Whether this a prelude to season 404 remains to be seen, but something seems to be stirring.
