Still three days to go, but in the central south of England (say
Hampshire), is this month likely to be noteworthy for being very close
to long term average on all three counts (temperature, rainfall,
sunshine)? Assuming at least a few hours a day of sun in the next
three days, no deluges and temps around or just over 20C, I think
there must be a fair chance. It's been a while since I remember a
month which I have perceived as so "average"

It's always that mathematical conundrum that "average" is actually
unlikely. To get 3 variables to all end up average at the end of a
period of time is "unlikely" x 3!!

Even at this stage, with only 3 days to go and with temperature,
presently, being bang on average and the other two close, I'd offer
you 50/1 against June's temperature (+0.0C), rainfall(100%) and
sunshine(100%) all being average in the CET area at the month's end.

PS Having said that, I agree with completely about the month being so
"average". It could end up the most "average" month ever recorded for
a combination of those 3 variables - and I'm still offering 50/1
against it being average with only 3 days to go!!

Although temperature's have been close toaverage over much of the UK,
a quick look at www.met.rdg.ac.uk/~brugge/CURR.html shows the same
cannot be said of rainfall. Rainfall % figures range from 42% at St,
Mawgan (Cornwall!!) to 184% at Leeming.

Also, a closer look at temperatures will show the diurnal range much
greater than normal - around 1C greater here in Penzance.

Hi, Graham and All,
As often happens, CE trend being bucked in the NE England area as you
suggest with the Leeming rainfall.

Copley to 09Z 28th, Mean Max +0.1C Mean Min +0.4C and rising quickly,
Mean +0.2C and rising. Rainfall 109% of month norm, Sun a miserable
70% of month norm.
