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.

I've never seen that definition.
