Lampeter, Ceredigion, Wales

 

Warm and rather dry

 

An unsettled, very dull and quite wet start to June but a big improvement from 11^th, it was then mostly dry, warm and quite sunny through to the last week. In spite of this consistent warmth, absolute maxima unremarkable and it did not exceed 24c. Estimated sunshine at 187 hours would be above average in spite of the very dull start. Quite a high incidence of fog (6 days) although none of it lasted until 0900 GMT.

No day had more than 6 hours sun during this early part of the month, the total for the first 4 days being below an estimated 2 hours! Although often cool to 5^th, temperatures then recovered to the rather warm category and it managed 22.7c 6^th which was largely dry. It was also quite windy at times.

 

11^th – 25^th Mostly dry, became warm and quite sunny. With high pressure often close to the UK this was a fine, Summery spell. Temperatures mostly above average and often warm, although it never exceeded 24c, and the month's high reading was 23.4c 25^th. There was no measurable rain from 16^th to 25th a total of 9 days and the longest dry spell since last July (20 days). Nights were chilly at times, the lowest being 3.5c 22^nd

Hobart, Tasmania

June - First month of winter

A mild, dry and largely settled start to winter with no low or mid altitude snow event. The seventh successive month with above-average temperature and below-average rainfall. Hobart has only had 1 cooler than average month since spring 2011 ( mean 1981-2010 comparison ).

 

Average maximum:  13.3 ( +0.9 )

Average minimum:  6.4 ( +1.1 )

Rainfall:  21mm ( average 53mm )

Rain days ( +1mm ):  7/from 14

 

An extensive area of high pressure was the dominant feature for the first three weeks, but weak fronts crossing at 2 or 3 day intervals brought a shower or two, or a little drizzle. Cold and frosty during the 9th/10th, with morning fog,then tending milder for the rest of the month. From the 23rd winds were predominantly NW-SW,  as active fronts and low pressure moved NE'ward into the SE corner of the country ( but to Tasmania's west ). A colder change finally ended the month - but not significantly cold or wet, with snow settling no lower than about 700m on the mountain range.
