As summer days go I can remember few as utterly wretched as this one.
The temperature 'peaked' is that is indeed the right word at a miserable
13.4C. There was persistant moderate (sometimes heavy) rain from
the early hours until mid afternoon. The rain has pretty much stopped
now the 'reverse Pennine effect' has finally decided to come into play.
However now there is a nasty wind blasting through the trees that
must surely be up to 40 mph or so....

You've obviously never lived on Dartmoor Col!

Day max here today 12.2C. Rain all day (still raining) and a force 5-6 wind
howling round the chimneys, nothing unusual, even for June.
(Unlike what is happening in south Yorks and Humberside with extreme
rainfall at
present).

Willum, where's Humberside? Surely you mean the East Riding of
Yorkshire????

Hull

I went to Hull University and it was called H*********e then.
But I *do* understand. East Riding it is?
Do you know of Nellies in Beverley, in my student days (1970s) girls weren't
allowed in a certain bar and I took a young lass in there by mistake, everyone
turned round and stared ...... not at me I hasten to add.
Needless to say I lost that girlfriend.
Happy days :-)
