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?

On Friday night, the Met Office used the term mild to state that it would be a mild night. I thought it was acceptable as the temperature was above average. Last night, they used the term warm to state that it would be a warm night. Having read your message, it seems that it is not correct to use the term mild in June and I was wrong to assume it was.
