Only 16°C on the Exeter METARs and with the wind it felt more like March
or
April down here today. Somewhat ironic given that April was more like what
I'd expect in June ! I would suggest "summat's up" but it's probably not
so
won't bother.

Not very summery for those at Glastonbury then.

Always wondered why they don't hold the festival later in the year when the
weather is a bit more reliable.



I always remember learning at school that June was supposed to be the
most settled summer month and August had a bad reputation. These days
this does not seem to be the case so much - indeed June 20-July 10 or
so seems to be the worst period of the summer on average, with a
fairly reliable settling down (in the south and southeast at least)
after that with consistent warmth (rarely 20C max)
