Beccles Weather Report August 2019


THIS summary is compiled from the records of Stephen Bartholomew of Beccles. August 2019


Max Temperature: 31.5C


(88F) on 25th compared with 31.0C (88F) in August 2018. Min Temperature: 8.5C


(47F) on 12th compared with 8.0C (46F) in August 2018. Avg. Max. Temp: 23.95C


(75F) - 2019. 23.01C (73F) - 2018. 22.64C (72F) - Average. Avg. Min. Temp: 13.60C


(56F) - 2019. 13.62C (56F) - 2018. 12.75C (54F) - Average. Mean Temp: 18.77C (65F)


- 2019. 18.31C (64F) - 2018. 17.70C (63F) - Average. Rainfall Total: 0.90” compared with 2.73" in August 2018. (30-Year Average 2.37"). (2019 Total: 38% of


Average). Most Rainfall on one Day: 0.40" on 14th. Wind Direction mainly


from:- South-West 15 days, South-East 6 days, West 5 days and South 3 days. August 2019 overall was warmer, but in common with January, February, April and May this year suffered a shortfall of rain. Last August we had a scorching start to the month which saw the first seven days attain an Average Maximum Temperature of 28.6C, three of these days exceeded 30.0C. Through that month there was a gradual cooling of daytime temperatures. In contrast, this August had


a particularly warm to hot last ten days during which Average Maximum registered 27.2C following a near average first three weeks. Only one day of this spell failed to register a Maximum of 24C or more. The three days of peak temperature, 31.5C on 25th, 31.0C on each of 26th and 27th broadly coincided with the August Bank Holiday weekend. The Absolute Maximum of 31.5C was the hottest August day since 34.0C noted on 18/08/2012 but only the best since on 25th July 2019 (also 31.5C) and 33.1C on the previous day.


Reasons Why You Are Never To Young To Draw Up A Will


Greta Tancred from GOODWIN COWLEY SOLICITORS explains


MANY people think that big birthdays, retirement, an inheritance or grandchildren are the trigger events that should prompt them to get ‘their wills sorted’. However there are many good reasons to put a will in place. One is to avoid intestacy.


Under an intestacy, your assets will be passed on under specific rules, over which you do not have any control. Particularly if you are not married but simply live together, this could easily result in a very nasty surprise for the survivor of you. Another one is the opportunity to appoint executors. They are


the people that will put your will into effect and sometimes matters are so much more straightforward, once you can prove that you are the person who is legally allowed to deal with the deceased’s assets. If there is a next generation


that you are responsible for, you will want to make sure you appoint guardians, who can look after your children if the worst were to happen to you. Or even if you have pets that need to be organised if they were left behind… So, sooner rather than later


is the reasoning for putting a will in place. No one is


invincible and if you were to die unexpectedly, life will be hard enough for those who you leave behind, without leaving your affairs in a state. And the cost of getting this


peace of mind including a face-to-face discussion with a reputable, experienced, local solicitor? £150 for a basic will or £210 for a pair of basic mirror wills at Goodwin Cowley Solicitors, in Beccles (20 New Market) or Lowestoft (3 Regent Road). Do pop in or ring 01502 712 999 (Beccles) or 01502532700 (Lowestoft) to arrange to see Greta Tancred.


Even the lowest maximum of 19.6C was the highest such figure for August since 2009. This was the warmest August since 2013, to round off what has been the second best summer overall following that record breaker in 2018, since 2003. This was another dry


month, the fifth this year, despite eight days actually recording some rain. Two thirds of the 0.90” month’s total was noted during period 14th to 16th inclusive. A familiar pattern of notable dry spells has been present during most months of this year, repeated once again during seventeen days from 17th August to 2nd September when only .06” recorded on two days (19th and 28th). Summer 2019 (June, July, August) Average


Maximum


Temperature: 22.5C (0.8C above 1981-2010 average). Average


Minimum


Temperature: 13.4C (1.5C above 1981-2010 average). Mean Temperature: 18.0C


(1.2C above 1981-2010 average). Rainfall Total: 6.43” (92% of 1981-2010 average). Although not as warm as


last summer (equal warmest summer (with 2003) on entire record), there were periods of very warm temperatures

combined with slightly less notable conditions during parts of June and first half of July at times. There were only nine of


ninety two summer season nights which recorded less than 10C, four of these were in June. In recent years (except for last year), 30C days had been at a premium, when eight were noted, previously just one since 2013 (18th June 2017). This summer there were six such instances (three in July and three in August). There was a total of twenty


two days which recorded 25C or better (compared with thirty four last summer). However, each month exceeded long-term average temperature, June (+1.2C), July (+1.2C) and August (+1.1C). Despite the Met Office releasing a statement telling us countrywide this summer was the seventh wettest on their records dating back to 1910. This does not apply to this part of East Anglia. 2019 rainfall to end August amounts to 13.05”, some 2.90” less than at this stage last year and only just over half of our average annual amount of rainfall (25.60”).
