Tuesday was warmer again but not as hot as this time last year

Tuesday’s maximum peaked at 23.2C being 3.2C above average, but this day in 2017 was a scorcher with 31.4C

There was no rain yesterday. The wettest day for this date in June was in 2007 with 7mm. This year the June total is only 5.3mm.

Tuesday produced just 1.36 hours of strong sunshine yet this date in 2007 gave us 11.47 hours.

With an overnight minimum of 15.3C due to much cloud cover and warm air from the Azores, it was the warmest night since 23rd August 2017.

Wednesday has arrived with broken cloud and occasional, brief glimpses of the sun.
