Heat to return

[Tom2006]

Summer is certainly continuing here and by the looks of things it's going to get hotter next week and looks likely to last into september!...even up north as well. What a summer!

I just hope we don't suffer with a winter extreme in return. But i hope this warm weather lasts till gone September it would be nice!

Well the long term models are forecasting a very cold winter (similar to 2010) but I'm just going to enjoy this glorious summer, looks like its not wanting to leave in a hurry.

It would be great if the weather is going to get warmer again, I just don't want winter 2010.

[sanatic1234]

I hope the long range models are well off! screw 2010 that was terrible in fact 2011 ans 2012 were crappe to. I have gotten -10c or lower all 3 years 2010 was -19c. I will just think of the warmth for now.

If the heat has gone it's still left us with a residue of comfortably warm weather. Long may it last. Any severe winter - as short as possible, .

The heat is coming back.

Well, perhaps, but that's quite a claim. The heat may well come back but at this stage it's certainly not guaranteed. Actually at this stage I'd say it was a possibility rather than a probability. The signs are there for settled/warmth - but they are still fairly mixed.

Again, I remember at one point the long range models were forecasting a severe winter for last winter season, and whilst it was colder towards the end of the season it wasn't too cold. I'll say it's unlikely to be very cold but equally, who knows? it's a long way away! (ps those long range forecasts will change weekly)

Nothing is guaranteed, but all models support this one.

As for the long range weather forecasts, I completely ignore them, just commenting on what they currently say. I would have more success in predicting winter by reading tea leaves.

Winter could be the mildest on record, it's just too far off to predict right now

I think the heat will come back. It's still warm though 18 last night and breezy, nice to sit out in and eat me supper.

Well there have been posters on the "pseudo-weather" forums posting about the CFS predicting a colder than average winter for some time now. However the CFS that I've been looking at doesn't seem to suggest that at all.

The solution, as I keep having to remind myself, is: to stop reading the "pseudo-weather" forums. Especially in winter

Yep it will be what it will be. 2010 was well beyond the worst that I could have imagined possible, but my plants came through it (with protection in some cases) and I still have an exotic garden
A little bit of heat now, lasting into September, would round off what has been a very good summer in these parts. Although I have to keep reminding myself of this since I was out of the country for a large part of the July heat, and the last 2 weeks have been distinctly average/damp.
No particularly hot temps forecast for the next week or two, but it does look to be drying up

Really hope so! Got lots of leave to take and would like to use more before the kids go back to school
