It was very dull August for parts of England

August in east London was the dullest on record, back to 1881! The month didn't even make it to 100 hours of sunshine. Usually these long term records are very fine margins but the next dullest August was 1912 with 108 hours. pic.twitter.com/G4MNlpi725

If you thought a 1041 hPa anticyclone sitting in the North Atlantic near Britain & Ireland during August looked a bit strange… you'd be correct! New record max MSLP for August yesterday, only one year after the record min (during Storm Ellen). https://t.co/PBoFhUp3kJ pic.twitter.com/MvQloBQfGt
