What? In a (London) summer?
That's just not cricket
Solar mins have their greatest impact over the winter months, usually exhibiting long cold protracted winters, heavy snows, prolonged sub zero temps.
Last winter over here in the UK was a taster, a precursor of what's to come.
Gone now are the milder winters of the 90's and 2000's with a predominant Sw flow and mild atlantic maritime winds with a regular run of winter storms.
What we have to look forward to is blocking highs and arctic / siberian wind flows.
