Been a nice day today in Sussex/Surrey, however despite the sunshine it
still felt rather cool in any breeze. I can understand it being cool
when it was cloudy, windy and wet over the last two weeks but I would
have thought that temperatures would have gone a bit higher today with
the sunshine. Presumably we are still under the influence of a cool airmass.

Anyone reached 20C in the last week or so? I'm hoping the forecasts
prove correct and we reach it here either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Yes today 23.1C max recorded, might be a tad high. But that's against
a June average to the 18th of below 10C. Previous to today the last
over 20C day was 30th May.

Highest this month has been 17.1c on the 9th !! miles away from 20c. It was the 28the May the last time passed the 20c mark.

Dave - your 23c looks a little high, sun may have caught your proble directly ?

Not at that time of day. The sun does catch it first thing in the
morning at this time of year. It does get indirect heating from the
hot air coming from the shed roof. IIRC the 18th was a warm day with
indicated temps above 20C from about 1000 to 1600.

You know it's a really, really bad summer when normal temperatures for
the time of year are considered remarkable!

The last 4 days, Sun 17th-Wed 20th, have seemed blissfully good here
in Southampton but in fact this was just a return to normal conditions
for mid June - the period was
not sunny dawn to dusk, it even rained Sunday evening, but unlike the
rest of this month (2 hrs sun/day, strong winds and temps barely above
15C are not normal for June, despite what the cynics about British
weather think!) it was close to average.

Depending on what it does next week (which seems a little up in the
air) June 2012 could well beat any of the summer months of the last 5
years for sheer awfulness here and we'd have to go back possibly to
1980 to find anything as bad. Even "classics" like June 1987 weren't
quite this bad for lack of sunshine, strong winds and frequency of
frontal rainfall.

According to Philip Eden, writing in the Sunday Telegraph last Sunday,
not only had the first half of June been cool and very wet, but it had
also been the dullest since sunshine recording came in during the second
half of the 19th century. I forget precisely which geographical area the
above applies to, but it was something like East Anglia and southern
England.

That would not surprise me in the slightest - indeed someone (Martin?)
gave a stat of somthing like 1.1hr/day up to the 13th or so.
The last four days have improved things somewhat I suspect, with a
more seasonable 7 or 8 hrs a day at a guess, but zero sun so far today
despite
being the summer solstice.

I know we have next week to go, which might have more in the way of
polar airmasses from high latitudes (and consequently be sunnier)
but.. could this month end up being duller than January in places?
There must be a fair chance that it will end up being duller than the
sunniest January ever recorded, because I'd guess that a particularly
sunny January could make 4hrs/day on average.
