The UK weather in July 2024 was the most normal on record, not just for July but for any month since 1960!\u00a0 All statistics were close or equal to the median value observed since records began.\u00a0 I bet that will generate endless headlines…
\n<\/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 lower\/upper deciles and minimum\/maximum are shown as solid black circles and any month with a new record is shown as solid black squares.\u00a0 All data is supplied by the Met Office and can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every month I update 7<\/strong> charts in all.\u00a0 I rotate which 6<\/strong> appear in the deck above and \"\"plot the 7th<\/strong> as a separate chart here.\u00a0 Between November & February, Sunshine (chart G) is shown here since that is of least interest in these months.<\/p>\n

How abnormal was July 2024?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

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

The abnormality index was 6% <\/strong>this month which is not just the lowest ever for July, it is also the lowest ever for any month over the last 64 years.\u00a0 July 2024 is therefore the most normal month ever!<\/p>\n

PS: If you bookmark this link<\/a>, it will be refreshed with the latest month’s data.\u00a0 I usually post the update in the first week of each month.<\/em><\/p>\n

Click the relevant month to see what the weather was back then.\u00a0 Months highlighted in bold had an abnormality index exceeding 100% indicating unusual weather.\u00a0 Alternatively click the Weather Tracker<\/a> hash tag below this post to see a list of all such posts.<\/p>\n
