Another dollop of heavy rain yesterday evening and overnight has allowed my
total for the month so far to soar ahead of 2009 (130.4mm) which was the
previous wettest June in local records going back to 1971. Total now stands
at 144.6 mm, but not for long looking at the radar picture!

Not as wet I as forecast here today with just 6.6mm but we are still up to
110 mm for the month. We are still a long way behind our June records of
154mm in 2007 and 166mm in 1980!
Sun hours now struggled up to a whopping 30.8 after 21 days, so the low
record of 81.1 hours set in 1987 looks there for the taking
At least the temperatures have picked up, only 1.1c below average now

Looking like plenty of the wet stuff and very little sunshine over the next
few days at least.
