August/september Weather

[Andrewcook]

Has August been a good month on the Broads? Will September have a late Indian Summer? Has the Climate change made any difference i.e. more Rain or less around Norfolk? As for October weather?

I read yesterday that August was the least sunniest month on record for the UK. To be honest the long range forecast for September doesn’t look too promising. However, our forecasters are not known too well for their confidence or accuracy so who knows!

I found this August to be pretty pants tbh. Hope September is better, in particular this weekend

Got this massive omega high right over the Uk bending the jet stream. 
this circles air to the north on the Ireland side and south from the Europe side. 
it’s a blocking weather pattern that sucks moist air in from Atlantic. 
if it happens the other way you get really hot summers and mild winters. 
That’s basically it. 
It’s a fine edge. In other years we’ve had the hot version and we are talking drought. 
The future? It’s starting to collapse as autumnal weather sets in. 
unsettled is the usual result

[Cheesey69]

Oh and it’s called omega high because of its shape and it treats the Uk like a roundabout. 

[grendel]

ah, i see, sometimes it uses the roundabout in british fashion, giving unsettled weather, sometimes in continental fashion, giving a good summer.

Hi Griff you either bring Rain or a bit of  Sun not the News paper lol as this August was Rain mostof the time while Griff was on Broads  could September and October be fine and Dry?

Your guess is as good as any of ours - and the weather forecasters I suspect Andrew.

I sure hope the rain holds off this October, like many we are doing staycaystions this year. It will be my first broads holiday in October for at least 30yrs. We don't mind a bit of wind and it being cold but a combination of all 3 makes the broads a pretty miserable place in my opinion. Fingers crossed 🤞

The last week of September and first week of October are going to be marvelous weather for the whole of the UK especially the North of Scotland

You heard it here first!

Who don’t like the sound people swearing as they slip on the wet quay heading?

I got caught out by what the BBC call a forecast last week, as will be reported on my resto thread later, and someone suggested I look at the Met Office website. Yesterday when I checked, the BBC were giving another nice weekend for Brundall but the Met Office said wind and rain for Sunday. 

Anyone found a reliable source of forecast for Brundall Gardens Marina, especially the bit of sky above my boat?

cut out the baked beans and brussels sprouts and you will be guaranteed only 2 of those weather conditions.

I'm in Scotland this week, boating on the Great Glen (holiday tale to follow). The weather has been amazing so far, I had shorts and sun cream on today.
