Alcaston, Shropshire - June 2024

[Freddie]

A mostly cool month, although a short very warm spell at the start of the 4th week meant that the overall anomaly was just below average.  A dry month too with few days recording rain, and the bulk of the total falling across two days mid-month.  A single day of ground frost recorded, although there were a couple of near misses.

Anomalies (in brackets) refer to the estimated 1991-2020 averages.
