I should not do this, but here is a brief blog on the weather. A lot of folk are grumbling about the weather this June. In the west we say it is too wet; whereas in the east of the country the reverse is the case, and they already have a hosepipe ban. A friend said to me yesterday that it was actually a 'cold' June!
Yet nothing has gone wrong with our weather, this June is reassuringly normal. The weather is typical: over the country as a whole the rainfall is average and the temperatures are what they should be. In his 'Weather Eye' article in the Times today Paul Simons analysed the latest Met Office data and concluded that everything was pretty much 'entirely normal'.
As the Atlantic warms (it takes longer than the land) our summer will become warmer and more settled (in theory). June is traditionally a wet month in the west (think of the mud at Glastonbury in years past). I think we should stop worrying and learn to love our northerly climate.
