Very cool day after wet morning
There was welcome rainfall yesterday morning, but no great quantity, with a daily total of 4.6mm, which brings the figure for June to 19.8mm (35%). Due to the cloud and rain, the maximum temperature was just 16.7C when the mean for June is 19.7C. There was compensation in the afternoon as the sun appeared with the diminishing cloud cover to produce 3.36 hours of string sunshine.
