I see that the Met Office have started to use the term 'mild' in some
weather forecasts recently. For example, in the current forecast for
the Peak District Saturday is forecast to be 'Mild with light winds'
and Sunday is forecast to be 'mild or warm with light winds'. I had
always understood that, in this country, the term 'mild' was reserved
for use during with colder months of the year and implied temperatures
above average. What it is intended to mean in June I'm not sure. I know
that the term is used rather differently in other countries but has
there been a change in its use here?

I think that mild in June would mean overnight temperatures above average. On May 31st, I went shopping early in the morning. There are no buses at that time so I walked there and back and the temperature was below 15c but the humidity was high. The weather was unpleasant, there was low cloud and mist but the day was sunny and the humidity lower.
