UK Weather Tracker #77 – June 2023

July 5, 2023 By Nigel

June 2023 was the hottest on record in the UK.  It was also the 4th sunniest & 7th widest temperature range but rainfall was normal so my abnormality index did not exceed my threshold to be marked as an unusual month.  When you look back at the historical temperature range,  one could say that a June as hot as this was overdue which leaves as the only month overdue for a new record.

September 7, 2022 By Nigel

The 2022 UK summer was the 4th warmest & 9th driest on record.  When looked at using principal components, the summer was definitely a good one and showed up yet again my inability to predict good summers!
