More rain today taking us up to 158mm so far this month. June 2016 is

Sun hours stand at a dire 90.5


Sunshine here has been dire too with the total up to 134 hours so far. My
average for June for the last 10 years is 224 hours.

And it has been soggy as well. Rainfall currently at 99 mm. That's over
twice the normal. It was only a week or so ago that we were into
environmental drought conditions with the countryside going merrily brown.


Here in Haytor June average is 97mm, currently we are on only 49.6mm (so
quite a dry month), we have missed all the thunderstorms. In 2012 I
collected 271.8mm (pretty wet, but did not make the magic 300!!!).
As is normal in convective months Haytor often stays dry and quite sunny.
