Worst July I Remember

[Deneb]

Hi

This is the worst July I remember, & this is meant to be Summer, the days of summer I used to remember when I was a kid ! those days are gone now we get good days but the nights suck... So far..

The only thing I see is Cloud & Rain...

How your July being so far...?

Funny Nadeem, I remember a post a while back on the upcoming summer being compaired to the summer of 76....still waiting

[Earl]

Its forever autumn imo.

[Deneb]

I vagually remember the summer of 76, but it was a good one, long days, we used to ride our bikes play & be merry until sunset like kids do... & ice pops.

If we get an Indian summer It will more than make up for it... decent weatehr and longer nights...

Well I was 8 at the time, 76 is the best I can remember!

[swamp thing]

Shockingly bad.

76 was pretty good for me- I landed on the planet!

'76 was that legendary summer that everyone talks about. Soon as we have a hot one it's "just like '76". Shame 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 have had absolutely nothing in common with '76. This year is yet another poor summer. Feels like early Autumn, not height of summer. Lets hope August is better than the last few years.

My July totally sucks so far too!!!

thats 11 years before i was born so i wouldnt remember

[foundaplanet]

Sucks..! That's a fine word to describe it, I can think of many more.

I have had a scope for 4 months now and managed to get out 9 times with it. Bought a dslr over a month ago and the best I have managed with that is a set up in the living room.

So largely around here its all starting to feel a bit bleak this getting back into astronomy dream I had.

As for another 76 that's becoming as much a myth as England winning another World Cup..

Wishing us all some luck

Ive had 3 nights for imaging so far this month so 3/12

[steelfixer]

I remember 76 very well.

I was working on a small holding in the green houses.

It got so hot in there it made the thermometers explode.

Oh for another one like that.

As for this one rubbish to put it politlely.

[Kai]

I dont remember the nights that much as a kid , to knackered playing out all day

[AndyH]

Three months of complete cackiness.

I was 5 months old in the summer of '76. I've always hated heat and I'm certain it stems from then!

As for this summer, I've pretty much given up with the scope until late August. Lots of cloud and it's just not dark enough for the time it takes to set up for imaging. I am getting the bino's out for an hour or so when the weather allows though.

[wackyscot]

Terrible also, had 1 night out and used it to try and get my new QHY5 set up, failed terribly - not a happy bunny this side of the border

pretty poor,even when it has been clearish its hardly got dark!

[peteftm]

Clear up here in county durham tonight :-)

[whooshbang]

awful, same as last year and the year before that. this is the new breed of british summertime!

on the flipside though the winters recently have been crisp and clear for the most part.

[JamesF]

Same here. I've not spent a decent night outside since 12th May. I'm just trying to work out whether it's practical to take the Mak when we go to France.
