Default 2011 summer not a good one.

I think this weekend has just confirmed my view that the summer June/
July/August 2011, has been abismal! This whole weekend I've been at
the Southend Garden Show, tomorrow as well, and although showers only
appeared about 14:30 on both days, I can't believe how cold I've felt.
In fact today I put my long johns under my trousers, had a vest, T-
shirt, sweat shirt and fleese and still felt cold. My comment to some
of my colleague exibitors was "Not a bad day for December"

My figures for the three months are not good reading:
June +0.4°C mean, 228% rain, 105% sun.
July *-1.7°C mean, 170% rain, 101% sun.
August (To date) -0.5°C mean, 141% rain, 82% sun.

Perhaps I'm just getting old!

It has been pretty dire here. Just 10 days where we got to or above
21C and 25 C maximum on June 4. Rainfall way, way above average.

2 torrential downpours that dumped 87mm on us.
