The weather was a focal point during today's show, following the extreme heat which has soared through parts of Europe over the last few days.
But it was a different story for the UK as Sally, 51, turned to Matt and said: "It hasn't been hot and sunny here in this country for a while has it Matt?"
Regarding certain parts of the country, Matt told viewers: "We're 17 days through not including today and we've already seen well over what we normally expect to see rainfall wise for the entire month."
He revealed places like Tulloch Bridge and Boscombe Down have seen rain nearly every day this month.
The 47-year-old explained to fans that the weather patterns are "stuck" which is bringing the air from the North Atlantic, keeping temperatures in the UK cool.
Announcing that "more persistent" rain will be arriving this weekend, Matt said: "It does feel like summer has taken its break away from us in the UK".
"Is it ever coming back?," Sally chipped in.
Admitting there is little hope for the return of warmer weather, the meteorologist informed the duo: "No sign of it coming back for the end of this month at least".
A disappointed Sally tried to process the news, muttering: "Right, Okay," but Ben was less than pleased with Matt's latest report.
"Okay, shh now," he said. "That's too much already".
But it's clear both men saw the funny side as laughter filled the studio before Sally and Ben thanked their co-star for the update.
