But as temperatures plummet, the UK government stays on message. Public Health England (with impeccable timing and without irony), have published its heatwave strategy for 2013: The strategy the UK government needs to be concentrating on is its energy strategy:

Wow! Some of the coldest temps are right off the Texas Gulf Coast where we have had a very pleasant spring. It seems like it has been several decades since we have seen "cooler" than average temps off our coast this time of year.

yes we are having a great week or 2 .. hitting 20 deg c in some parts .. but night time temps are dropping as low as 5-8 deg c hot and cold .. so not much heat staying around ..

The Met Office appear to be struggling (short or long term). GFS forecast that the low will brush the south west of England then head off in your general direction. Potentially we're in for a lot of rain.

Potentially we're in for a lot of rain. And out just south of Greenland you will see the system that led to tornadoes in the USA now on its way along the jetstream Rossby wave to the UK and the Iberian peninsula. There is another similar storm system approaching the US mid-West that will follow the same path.

July's stunning UK weather (aside from the recent flooding) was a welcome respite from the very cold start to 2013. Interesting to see that Germany's monthly anomalies are very similar to those of the UK. Germany UK ____________________________ January: -0.3°C -0.3 February: -1.8°C -0.6 March: -4.1°C -3.0 April: -0.1°C -0.4 May: -1.3°C -0.8 June: 0.0°C -0.6 July: +1.5°C +2.3 ____________________________ average: -0.87°C -0.48°C ____________________________ The average 2013 anomaly for Germany is -0.87°C, for the UK -0.48°C.
UK anomaly trend over the last decade:

C'mon cd! there has been quite a big pattern shift compared to the 07' onward pattern ( thank god!) and even the kids are getting a good summer break this year! ( first one since 06' in these parts at least).
With all the ongoing research into low snow/ice cover and impacts on the strength of the polar jet the 'change in patterns ( 07' and 2012) are hard to ignore surely? If, prior to the next big drop in snow and ice cover over the N.H., we see the UK in a pattern that gives us blazing summers and snowy winters ends I'm all for it!
Sadly the places copping for what we had been getting will not be too pleased but the climate misleaders have taught me one thing 'look out fornumber one and hang the rest!'

graywolf: Surely my good man you are not tying the Jet Stream to the small deviation in Arctic Ice?

The current pattern of UK weather is not unusual if you care to look back further than the last couple of decades. I recommend you read Professor Brian f*gan's (University of California) book "The Little Ice Age", in the period the book covers (1300 - 1850) f*gan references many years when the UK & Europe experienced extreme heat, cold, drought & floods all within the four seasons of a year - I suspect your "catastrophically melting Arctic" had as little to do with the climate then as it does today...

"The current pattern of UK weather is not unusual if you care to look back further than the last couple of decades."
Show me that proper & exact pattern. And show me the proper time axis. See you again in a few years when you return from the archives, and are fluent in R or similar packages!
