Tudor is quite correct. For parts of the Southeast with the exception of
1976 it was the warmest June back to 1858. Incidentally Danny did not put
his location. It is very helpful if posters talking about weather conditions
could put their location as it has very much a bearing on the discussion.
Sometimes there can be quite a difference in overall monthly conditions
between say the Shetlands and Cornwall.
Many people have forgotten what a `bad' summer month can be. Now 1954 in my
area-Coulsdon to Redhill in Surrey had just ONE day  exceeding 21C, 1956
just 6 days  and 1958 only 5. This year most days have exceeded this figure.
Also 1954 had over 90mm of rain and 1956 130mm of rain. And. I have not
begun to mention the very chill Julys of 1919, 1910, 1891 or 1888, months
that would have this newsgroup ringing with posts.
Incidentally my long range forecast which has been fairly accurate so far
this year goes for quite a warm August.
