I asked a colleague what he thought of this June so far and he said
"Rubbish!". Yet down here in Devon, looking at the data at the
halfway mark, it hasn't been at all bad and we seem to have escaped
the worst of the weather.

I certainly have known worse!

Stats so far (1st-15th)
Mean max 21.2C
Mean min 11.0
Mean 16.1C

Rainfall 17.6 mm

Sunshine 105.4 hours
Daily 6.6 hours average

It's been a pretty nice week here Nick, and it's fairly sunny again
this morning after overnight rain (We've had all our rain overnight
this week). Good visibility, sunny spells in the Bay, but big cb
towards Camborne (as there was yesterday) took a couple of pics I
might post later.

My visitors were well pleased considering the forecasts. They've
even taken up body boarding and drinking Doom Bar bitter - a cultural
success story.

Up until today the maximum temperature has exceeded 21°C on 7 consecutive
days this June with 25.1°C reached on the 9th with little rainfall until the
15th/16th. It is fairly cludy at present with showers so I don't see the
temperature reaching that level unless the sun appears later today. Not a
bad month here so far.
