June 1922 13.8C, and that was the WARMEST month of
the year. That must have been a dreadful summer.

It did follow a very good summer the previous year.

June 1846 at 18.2C. That must have been a nice month. That was warmer than
June 1976 which was 17.0C.

The really hot weather in 1976 only started in mid-June.

.... and June 1976 is Southampton's claim to fame. With two consecutive
days exceeding 35 deg C (35.5 & 35.6 on 27th and 28th) it still holds
the UK National record for the hottest June day of them all
