JUNE was cooler than average, with both maximum & minimum values 1 degree below the long-term average. The month's highest temperature was 26.5 on the 3rd & only this day & on the 2nd & 19th, did temperatures exceed 20 degrees.The 11th was the coolest day, with a high of just 12.0 degrees Amazingly, June's average maximum temperature was only 0.7 degrees higher than that of April 2011!
The month's lowest temperature was 1.0 on the morning of the 10th. There were 5 nights with a ground frost at this prone site, the lowest being -2.9 on the 10th.
Rainfall at 64.0mms was just 3% above the long-term average. 13 days had 1.0mm or more & the wettest 24hr period was the 20th with 14.1mms.
This is unlikely to be a June that sticks in the memory, with no long-term records broken. It was disappointing for those who welcome sun & warmth, though gardeners & growers would have little cause for complaint.
