What date in June does this arrive ?

Last year it didn't arrive until the beginning of July.

I think Lamb referred to it as the 'Return of the Westerlies' and I think he
said they generally occur around mid to late June.

This year has been so different weatherwise to previous years that I
wouldn't be at all surprised if, after 3 summers where the westerlies
returned strongly during late June/early July, that it didn't happen this
year and we stayed in this 'blocking' situation all summer long.

Trouble is, if we do stay in this current weather regime, and with
everything already very dry, we could be heading for a crispy brown
countryside by mid-summer, something that we haven't seen since 1995.

Who knows!
