The UK set a new record for maximum temperature of 38.7 degrees in Cambridge on 29th Jul<\/a>y.\u00a0 Other than that, the UK weather was unremarkable for the month overall, other than being warmer than normal.\u00a0 This goes to show that whilst individual days can be remarkable, it is rare that this is sustained.<\/p>\n

The meteorological year starts in December which is why December appears as the 1st data point in the charts below.\u00a0 More information on the layout of the charts can be found in this pos<\/a>t.\u00a0 Points lying between the upper and lower deciles are shown as open black circles, points lying between the deciles and minimum\/maximum are shown as solid black circles and any month with a new record is shown as solid black squares.<\/p>\n

As I explained<\/a> in October 2018, the addition of a Temperature Range chart (B) means I update 7 charts every month so I rotate which 6 appear \"\"in the deck above and plot the 7th as a separate chart here.\u00a0 Since it is summer, Frost (chart G) is shown since that is of least interest in the summer months.<\/p>\n

How Abnormal was July 2019?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Chart H displays my UK Weather Abnormality Index<\/strong> (Scroll down my May 2019 post for details<\/a>).\u00a0 The closer to zero this \"\"index is, the less abnormal and thus more “average” a month is.\u00a0 The higher it is, the more abnormal the month is.\u00a0 When the index is over 100%, we can describe the month as unusual in some way.<\/p>\n

It is clear that July 2019 was not abnormal in any meaningful fashion.\u00a0 It was warmer than normal with more intense rainfall as can be seen in charts A & F above but rainfall and sunshine were typical overall.<\/p>\n
