I think he did that on purpose!

I await JACKONE's next update over on Netweather with extreme nervousness, because most of the geeks/experts over there are generally looking at an extended breekdown in conditions after next weekend. Horrid talk of low pressure dominance for mid/late June. Arghhhh!!!

This is the BBC review of last June's weather - sounds awful don't it?

Wasn't bad, was it?

UK Review - June 2009

June saw the highest temperatures of the year so far, but also some heavy thunderstorms which triggered localised flash floods.

After a hot and sunny start to June, some very wet weather hit much of central and southern England and Wales over the weekend of the 6th and 7th.

Rainfall totals were widely between 40 to 60mm, with a maximum of 78.1mm in Cardiff. Surface flooding affected a number of areas.

On the 10th heavy, slow-moving thundery downpours affected parts of Wales, West Midlands and South Yorkshire. Flash flooding was reported from a number of locations.

There were also slow-moving storms across southern Scotland and Northern Ireland over the weekend of the 13 and 14th, with golf-ball-sized hailstones reported at Leuchars (Fife) on 13th.

These storms moved into England and Wales on the 15th. Surface flooding was reported from a number of locations across the country. Up to 30 mm of rain was reported to have fallen in 30 minutes in the St Helens area.

Heavy storms were also reported in north-west England, South Yorkshire, Norfolk, Devon and Cornwall.

Hot weather triggered some severe storms between the 25th and 30th. The main area affected was from just north of London, through the Midlands and into north-west England.

Although the storms were scattered, some were severe with 20-40mm of rain reported in some areas in just a few hours.

Some funnel clouds were reported on the 26th, and marble-sized hailstones in Essex on 27th.

Localised flash flooding was reported from a number of areas on all six days between 25th and 30th June and a number of people were treated for lightning strikes.

Towards the end of the month, weather watches for heat were issued for parts of England and Wales, as daytime temperatures were expected to exceed 30C and night-time temperatures were forecast to remain relatively high.

This was the first warning of its kind since 2006.

30C was exceeded in parts of south-east England on the 29th and 30th.

That website looks about as trustworthy as the Daily Mirror website.

But I'll take it, nontheless!

[Midnight Man]

Absolutely.

I had a quick look at some chicken entrails last night and it predicted scorching 30+ degree heat all weekend... it also said something about a tornado on the Monday though.

Chicken entrails are notoriously unreliable for long-term forecasts.

You'll be wanting a sparrow.

[Marathon_Man]

Which radio station? What sources have they used?

Dave out on the garden holding a weather vane and a barometer?

Still - if it's good, I'll believe it.

[Midnight Man]

An African or European sparrow?

[Josepipe]

I threw some stones in the air, but they said Tom Huddlestone was going to the world cup so I think I must have used the wrong ones.

[Midnight Man]

Either - as long as it's migratory.

Swallows are a different story - you need more than one for a start.

[APC]

Gusts.

[worthyraver]

And now.. the weather.

[Josepipe]

You should tweet that.

Well, the weather for Rage factor this Sunday looks pretty good. Shame though as I feel like I may be using up my "good weather credits" too early. TBH, I'd rather get pissed wet through on Sunday and take a warm and dry Glasto any day.

[Spindles]

x2 for that.

I've done my first tentative look at metcheck today, which shows nothing but cloud and rain for the next 2 weeks. I am therefore fairly confident that they should be predicting a heatwave by teatime.

[darkfish]

the general consensus seems to be "Meh, if we just guess cloudy with some sun and some rain we probably won't be wrong".
