UK Weather News

June was a dry month for the UK

I’ve seen a lot of comments recently about how we are having a ‘bad’ summer.

In June 21, most of the UK was warmer, drier and sunnier than average.

The question is: are these comments mainly from the S/SE, where it has been wet, or do we expect every summer to be like ‘76? pic.twitter.com/WxJ2LLjt3O
