Can't believe there's any negative anomaly! I was in Devon until the 4th, where it was fantastic - we were in the sea & outdoor pool! Even back here, it's been cracking the flags.

Cold nights.

Met Office Hadley 12.6  Anomaly  -0.6  provisional to  4th.

 

My reading 14.3

Rain 1% sun 180%. Cant really complain with that can we.

I'm amazed there has even been 0.1mm of rain in England & Wales this month. Wonder how they average it out? Was there a rogue shower over Snowdonia?

12.7 to the 5th a little more chipped away from the anomaly now -0.5

MetCheck 11.91 C... -2.24 Below averidge

Anomaly cut to 0.3 now.

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/cet_info_mean.html 

We managed our first 25C of the year yesterday as Solent M.R.S.C peaked at exactly 25.0C.

This is the equal latest date on which 25C has been reached since 1999. The last time we were as late as this in seeing the first 25C was in 2004 (if we ignore the old rooftop site at the London Weather Centre).

Met Office Hadley  12.9     Anomaly  -0.3  Provisional to  6Th.

 

Metcheck        12.11               -2.04  Below Average.

 

 

My  Mean   14.1

Don't take too much notice of the Hadley data so far this month. The estimates for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th are way too high.

As at the 6th Hadley is at 12.95C whereas my estimate is 12.42C so over 0.5C of difference there.

Up to yesterday my CET estimate increases to 12.61C. That is 0.66C below average for the first week of June.

Over the next couple of weeks we can expect the CET to be close to average. That should see the mean reach 13.54C by the 21st which is only 0.2C below the 1971-2000 mean although still well below average compared to the 1981-2010 mean.

Cheers Simon - looking suspiciously like yet another below average CET again.

Just shows that CET alone sometimes doesn't do justice to the weather because here this month, so far, has been stunningly, fantastically sunny, warm and dry. I really can't see how it could be much better - though the slight chill in the evening gives the game away...

The temperature still has not exceeded 22ºC here in 2013. The last occasion where 22ºC had not been reached at Birmingham airport at this stage in the year was in 1988, where the first 22ºC was recorded on June 14th.

We scraped 21'C on Thursday but thats the only time this year. No long term stats here but it really is a struggle to get a decent max. At least the sun makes up for it!

I'll echo what Dev said.  It's been sunny, warm and dry all month here too and I couldn't wish for better weather.  Just shows how regional the weather can be.

June may be below-average so far here, but that would only be down to the chilly nights - avg. max 19.5C, avg. min 6.8C. 5 of the last 8 days have reached or exceeded 20C, not bad for early June. 

Our highest temp this year is 22.9C back in May.

Met Office Hadley  12.9  Anomaly -0.4

 

Metcheck  12.06   -2.08  Below average

 

 

My Mean 14.1

It's 10.6C here so far, which is about -2.3C - same old story for this year.

---

The sunshine has been nice - but the night time temps have led to a below average CET.

Not suprsingly really.

The cool night temps have been great IMO. Amazing the impact they have had on the CET so far, considering the run of fairly warm feeling days we have had until today. Then again I guess the sun is almost at it highest so makes it feel warmer than the actual air temp......

Met Office Hadley  13.0   Anomaly -0.4  Provisional to 8TH

 

Metcheck 12.02     -2.12  Below Average

 

 

My Mean 14.0

It has struck me that we have yet to record a daily CET mean of 15.0C this year.

That is late.

---

Phew - it's well worth looking up the latest period this has ever happened.

I am sure we must be getting close to it - I am guessing here that 1972 must have been late as that was a very cold June.

That June had a CET of 11.8C

1972 takes the prize by miles for the latest year to record a 15C CET. It wasn't reached until 13th July. Fresh air is second, followed by 1819 on the 2nd July.
