UK Weather Tracker #5 – June 2017

July 7, 2017 By Nigel

My latest UK weather tracker shows that the meteorological summer started with a hot but stormy June.

As always, the meteorological year starts in December which is why June appears as the 7th data point in the charts below.  More information on the layout of the charts can be found in this post.

Meteorologically, June marks the start of Summer and 2017 was rather interesting.  Temperature-wise, June 2017 was the 5th warmest June on record.  However, sunshine hours did not match the temperature and in fact was slightly below the median.  This is explained by the fact that whilst the number of rainy days was close to normal, the rain intensity was the 2nd highest on record.  So in effect, we had a hot month interspersed with some heavy storms which resulted in the 6th wettest June on record.
