Addicks Fan 1981 Not sure where you get that from? 1993 and 2007 maybe similar in terms of summer temps but that is where the similarities end certainly in these Pennine hils.2007 had way more than double the rainfall of 1993s summer.1993 was rather a decent summer albeit rather cool whereas 2007 was completely rubbish and extremely wet in June and July but had a decent August that was cool.The only poor summer of the 90s was 1998 with 1993 on my list as 'Average' whereas 2007 is well inside the 'Poor' bracket.

BlueSkies_do_I_see In March 1965 25 degrees was recorded on the 29th March,this i believe is the outright March maximum recorded at Whitby which was amazingly the hottest day in Whitby for the whole year.Just as amazing is that on the 3rd day of that month Corwen in Wales recorded -21.7 deg,the coldest day of the year for the whole country,anamazingly cold temperature for March,only 2 winters have recorded lower in almost 30 years!

2009 was a rather decent summer for some maybe but unfortunately if you were a farmer trying to make hay it was a bit difficult when it rained every day.I can picture the weatherman showing the same weather chart with Atlantic lows one after another week in week out.it was rather pleasant with lots of sunshine around but then cloud built and it rained,an hour later back to sunshine.We had to wait for mid August for any settled spells to arrive.

Dry and cloudy with sunshine breaking through mid afternoon for the rest of the day,max 15 deg,min 9 deg
