Middle of June. Temperature 11C. Dull with steady rain. Nothing new again.


I think people now have unrealistic expectations. The SE certainly has done badly over recent weeks, but if we take the 1st 14 days of June in west Cornwall.

Average temp approx 1C below average (-1.1C Culdrose, -1.0C Penzance, -0.7C Camborne, -0.3C up at Plymouth

Sunshine already 75-80% of the norm for the whole month. (76% at Camborne). We had 200 hours of sun in May.

Rainfall approx 35% of the normal months total.

So in this part of the SW sunny, rather cool & rather dry (so far!) would sum it up.

Roger's page http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/~brugge/uksummary.html shows just how cool the SE has been (see temp anomaly map)
