With the UK Met Office predicting that we are twice as likely to have a hot summer this year, following the sunniest spring on record, the boffins must be wondering about this cold June we are having.
Last month’s weather adage from the Wordsworth Dictionary of Proverbs seemed to be on the nose - “A dry May is followed by a wet June”.

But the attendant rain was very welcome in farming quarters.- if not the sometimes extreme hailstone showers that came too!
29C in the North of Ireland, with a record 29.6 in Roscommon - heatwaves indeed.
