However, in the general sense, Britain did not have an overall exceptional summer; the country experienced cool low pressure systems brought by an unseasonably low latitude by the jet stream for the 6 summers previous, which made the summer of 2013 more "welcome" and feel warmer than other summers. The historical records suggests "Using the CET record (for June, July & August), the average TEMPERATURE by that measure was=16.3degC (Provisional): neither June nor August was exceptionally WARM, so this value does not 'rate' too highly when set against other very WARM summer seasons." With June being a cool month and August being an Average month, in terms of temperatures the English Central summer temperature ended up being on the average side set up against previous summers since the CET series began in 1659.
