Still three days to go, but in the central south of England (say
Hampshire), is this month likely to be noteworthy for being very
close to long term average on all three counts (temperature,
rainfall, sunshine)? Assuming at least a few hours a day of sun in
the next three days, no deluges and temps around or just over 20C,
I think there must be a fair chance. It's been a while since I
remember a month which I have perceived as so "average"

Learnt sommat by being on this newsgroup then - that average Junes in
the south and I guess the south east as well are evidently pretty
lousy affairs. Something I never really even reaslised, only a
struggling 20C ! my god. Must be the early part of the years
following 2000 that has caused me to see normal Junes as brighter
prospects when really they are not. So whats an average July? 21C?
with evenings closing in lol DR
