I like the sound of this, came back from Spain Friday and the weather so far has been depressing.

A few years ago I climbed the three peaks in June and it was snowing at the top of Ben Nevis, good old Scottish summer.

Looking positive for high pressure to build. Back to mid 20s soon (in the south!)

Heading in to Autumn - the start won't be hot or very warm, but it will be decidedly pleasant. High pressure to form just to our east, so winds from the north sea for the south. Cool evenings and nights.

@Puggit.

Thank you for your sterling work throughout this thread. Your efforts, and those of others, have enhanced my enjoyment of this glorious summer.

Having said that, if next winter's weather is rubbish it will, of course, be ALL your fault!

So we should be good for the Golden Wedding party we're hosting a week on Saturday (8th)? 40 to 50 people inside would be a squeeze but fine in the garden...
