Yesterday was a day to put back on a jumper as the thermometer struggled to reach 15.8C late in the day, at 17.08, which was 4C below the June average. The mitigating factor was the low wind speed with the maximum gust all day of just 10mph. No sunshine was recorded, the second consecutive sunless day and the last time this occurred was in mid-May.
The UV level did rise from the abysmal ‘Low’ level of the previous day, just making it into the ‘High’ category for a brief instant at lunchtime.
With no rain again the total for June stands at 34.4mm, which is 21mmm short of the average for June.
The cloud cover meant anther mild night wth a minimum of 12.0C, some 2.3C above the average for June
The first effects of the high pressure off to the west of the country are seen this morning as the barometric pressure has been rising resulting in very welcome intermittent sunshine a couple of hours after dawn.
With data for the last day of the month still to be recorded, it looks as if it will have been a very warm month with the average approaching 2C above average.
