Default [WR] June's not bad so far in Devon

I asked a colleague what he thought of this June so far and he said
"Rubbish!". Yet down here in Devon, looking at the data at the halfway
mark, it hasn't been at all bad and we seem to have escaped the worst of
the weather.

I certainly have known worse!

Stats so far (1st-15th)
Mean max 21.2C
Mean min 11.0
Mean 16.1C

Rainfall 17.6 mm

Sunshine 105.4 hours
Daily 6.6 hours average

Default [WR] June's not bad so far in Devon

I agree Nick. Devon is looking lovely, green and lush as usual. Dartmoor is a
bit wet underfoot but we are used to that.
Raining hard again, though, monthly rain total 46 mm so far (measured). Average
for June though is 95mm. *Highest* day max. so far up here this month has been
21.7C which is very warm for Haytor in June as the average max. is 16.4C. Guess
you'd be always shivering if you lived up here :-)

ATB,

Will.

It's been a pretty nice week here Nick, and it's fairly sunny again
this morning after overnight rain (We've had all our rain overnight
this week). Good visibility, sunny spells in the Bay, but big cb
towards Camborne (as there was yesterday) took a couple of pics I
might post later.

My visitors were well pleased considering the forecasts. They've
even taken up body boarding and drinking Doom Bar bitter - a cultural
success story.

Up until today the maximum temperature has exceeded 21°C on 7 consecutive
days this June with 25.1°C reached on the 9th with little rainfall until the
15th/16th. It is fairly cludy at present with showers so I don't see the
temperature reaching that level unless the sun appears later today. Not a
bad month here so far.

Where have they come from?

That reminds me of when I took a load of Europeans (French, Germans etc) for
their first drink in an English bar in Falmouth. We sat downstairs in the
pub in the harbour (Chain & Locket I think). All their stereotypes of bad,
warm English ale went out of the door in one clean stroke. They loved it,
with all the different types of ale on offer and not one of them was served
warm. And we had good food too. They were all hooked after that.

Come to think of it, I have never had a warm pint of ale in this country,
tepid, yes rarely, but definitely never warm.

Sun's oot! Feeling warm and humid.

Currently at 12:30, 17.0C, RH 72%, DP 12.0C, 1001.1 mb (S), Wind 4 mph SSW.
4 hours of sun so far today.

Quite sunny here too, turning into a lovely afternoon and with the
temperature now 20.0C, it is feeling quite warm and humid.

1720

Moderate rain shower. Temp 14.7C.
Squinting at what bit of the radar is available seems like the heavier showers
are just over my house and nowhere else in Devon :-)
I'll be glad when today is over, it has not been a good one and the weather
hasn't helped :-(
