O god are you joking

Nobody can predict the weather that far in advance but if you want weather reports that are much more accurate than the ones we get in the UK, then try www.Weather.com

We would have to know where in the world you would like to know what the weather would be in August. However, if it is central Europe, it will probably be warm to hot.

[boxtops]

where are you asking about, miller?

if you mean in the UK, it's too far ahead. Stuck between a huge landmass and a huge ocean, the UK has extremely volatile weather; you're lucky to predict it correctly for tomorrow let alone for two months away.

I can confidently predict in the UK that the temperature WILL be somewhere in the region of 10 degrees to 30 degrees and it will be glorious sunshine with some rain , wind, cloud with occasional thunderstorms. Take a coat to the beach!

rash, Mass, rash... it could very well be 3 degrees and snowing.

Mathematics (chaos theory) shows that meteorologists will never be able to predict the weather for the UK really accurately beyond about 3 days, with a reasonably decent chance of getting it right for a further day or two beyond that. Thereafter, up until about 10 days ahead, they can suggest what the best or worst might be but add little more detail. (For example, the BBC weather staff are currently predicting that the maximum temperature in London next Friday will be between 14C and 23C, and that there might be some showers).

For areas with more stable weather conditions (e.g. Athens or Melbourne) forecasts can go a it further ahead but that's largely because forecasters know (from historic records) that the whole of a month is likely to dry and hot anyway.

The Met Office currently attempts to give a rough guide to conditions over the next 30 days

but it looks like that might disappear soon.

As Michael Fish would put it: "Changeable"
No lies are being told, no commitments made, and whether it snows or is 90F in the shade the "changeable" forecast has it covered.
