Your weather hopes for 2018

Or moved to Gran Canaria or LA

not having the outdoors be a freezer for 1 or more months. Everything else is minor

2018 hopes for each month.

January: South easterly or south westerly winds, mild, sunnier than average. (clearly not the case this year, with NE shit coming)
February: Same as January
March: 2-3 degrees above average and dominated by high pressure and at least 50% sunnier than normal.
April: Same as March
May: A month of alternating warmer and cool period in the first half then very warm second half. At least two thundery interludes.
June: SUNNY for once. We've had some record dull Junes in the last couple of years. I want a sunny month with slightly above average temps and dry.
July: Average sun and temps will do me. A few thundery intervals.
August: ABOVE average for the first time in 25 years. Also, sunnier than normal. Thundery intervals of course.
September: Average temps and drier than average.
October: Average temps and drier than average.
November: Above average temps and drier than average.
December: Mostly mild but on big snow dumping of 2 feet of snow that melts after 4 days.

I'll look back at these after each month and compare how the real month performed against my wishes.

To specify from my earlier post:


January: Much below average, with several cold fronts.
February: Same as January
March:....Same as February
April: Below average, with a cold snap in the beginning, and average weather at the end
May: One last cool front in the beginning, becoming warm and wet in the second half
June: Average temps, much above average precip
July: Same as June
August: Below average temps, above average precip, a tropical storm or two coming through
September: Same as August, with a tropical storm or two coming through
October: Much below average temps, average/above average precip from a tropical storm early in the month.
November: Much colder than normal with average precip
December: Much colder than normal with average precip


Of course, the chances of this happening are about the same as me winning the fucking lottery tonight.

More specific:

January: Don’t really care
February: Well above average temps, below average precipitation 
March: Same as February^
April: Above average temps, above average snowfall, below average precipitation 
May: Below average precipitation
June: No cool, rainy, 60 (15 C) degree days
July: Above average temps, a nice heat wave with temps over 95 (35 C)
August: Same as July^
September: Above average temps, below average precipitation 
October: Well below average precipitation, a nice early season snowfall
November: Mild and dry OR Cold, dry and snowy
December: Below average temps, above average snowfall, especially near Christmas 

I'll happily take as much warm weather as the winter wants to throw my way & although not good for the farmers, drier too as it stops it feeling horrible & damp. Spring can do what it wants, but hopefully this summer will not be as hot as last summer as it was awful. Autumn will hopefully be warm with lots of thunderstorms...

My hopes for spain:

Record hot and dry summer, very cold wet fall and record cold winter with a late spring.

January: As long as we don't have any major cold spells I'm fine.
February: a 0'C mean months with lots of rain.
March: Above average with snow gone in the middle. (Means and highs)
April: Average or above average. Some days above 16'C (highs above average)
May: Average or above average. (Highs above average)
June: Average or above average (Highs above average)
July: Like 2016, lots of sunny 21-23'C. Stable but at least a couple of hot days above 26'C.
August: I'll take average temps as long as it's dry and relatively sunny.
Some 20+ days, above average sunshine and no freezes, or at least no major ones.
October: Warm lows and limited freezing temperatures.
November: Limited freezing weather.
December: Extension of November.
