Glad I wasn't up here in 2007 Graeme,  that June sounds horrendous! Looks like we have another week or two of misery, cold and misty with, as Doc mentions, rain thrown in too.

The weather will reset into its usual south-westerly for the last 2 weeks of June so Aberdeen down to Edinburgh will warm up at last.

I know this as I'm in NW Scotland then! 

No problem Jerry- actually it's a great link and I can zoom from it; but I've been known to make a MENSA test out of opening a tin so don't worry!

Sun factor 8 across much of the region today in the zones to the N and W of Southampton Water:

A 7 forecast here for today. So far this morning its been UV1 at 5:50am, UV2 at 7:10am, and UV3 at 8:15am.

Clear and sunny. Sun factor 50 being spread on my face shopping in Bath and doing the tourist attractions with Dutch relatives.

Incredible day here absolutely chock a block with tourists. Currently sunny and 20.1c.

A picture I took earlier of Torbay Palms with bunches of seeds and Echiums.

There is a hint of the daily gloom/hill fog/low cloud lifting, we may reach 12C before sunset.  

Was enjoying 17C and sunshine inland at Crathes but came back to find the North Sea muck has invaded and it's just 11.8C now

Still waiting for the first Sunday this year to manage 10 hours sun. Sunniest so far was 28th February which just shows how horrible this spring has been.

This is guaranteed to happen as I will be in Italy then. The N/E grot will likely resume when I return in July as it did last year to give a horrendously wet month. I haven't experienced a day of 22C here for nearly two years because the only times it was reached last year was when I was on my summer holiday 

June 2007 was so bad that the 2nd-13th was the dullest 12-day spell at any time of year, in my records starting in 2006, and wasn't beaten until November 2014. Absolutely disgusting

Good stuff, glad you saw some sun! No such luck here as the haar stuck around all day and the max was 11c. Horrible weekend locally although the sun was shining just a few miles inland....

Inland just a little, Saturday AND Sunday were lovely here.  Sunshine all day, both days.  I could see the haar yesterday but luckily it stayed on the eastern horizon.

Yet another North Sea Nasty day with drizzle, fog and quite windy too about 10C.
Next week actually looks worse if anything.

Here at this end of Kent, where it's all overcast with a northerly wind making the 15 C feel cold, I'm seeing people trudging along my street with still full picnic bags. I could almost hear them cursing and muttering as they leave the beach.
   I was hoping the sun would try to make an appearance later on today, but I can't see that happening as the mass of rain off to our east inches closer.

Same story here CP- if tomorrow manages a 16C after a 10-ish night we'll end up locally at about 18.7C max and 9.3C min despite a few ground frosts. Lawn is now dry to the soil and the suntans parameterise the sun. A good month all in all.

May has been a decent month here with I reckon around average sunshine (210 hours!) and only 40mm of rain thus far, average will come in at around 13c, warmer than the LTA with a new station max May temp record of 25.6c set on 8 May.

After a rotten weekend the sun finally made an appearance this afternoon, pushing the temp to 16c.
