Over the last few days we've had some decent weather. It's rained at sometime through the day but not in any great quantity. Generally daytime highs have reached around average for mid to late June but we just don't seem to be able to shake off uncomfortable cold mornings.

| Temperature & Rainfall Records 14-20 June 2019 |
I blogged about the low temperature of 5.9°C (42.6°F) on Sunday morning which is the lowest temperature I've recorded in June so far into the month. Well on Friday morning the temperature fell to 7.7°C (45.9°F) which is another 10 year low temperature for June so far into the month. It's certainly having an effect ,on the more tender plants at the allotment, like French climbing and runner beans, squashes and sweet corn which now think it is time that summer proper arrived and nights turned a little bit milder than they are.
The forecast is for us to have a heat wave for a few days next week. It's not forecast to hang around for long before we return to more normal June temperatures. I think our tender plants would appreciate some milder nights rather than a few days of blistering hot temperatures.

If it's anything our heat wave of two weeks ago, short and strong, and I think it is, be prepared to protect everything in pots. Roses got burned, the new growth on shrubs suffered as well.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the forecast maps and it appears that you will escape the worst of it and maybe you can just enjoy the glorious mornings. Good luck!
I've noticed that this morning's GFS run has cooled down a bit going for High 20's C rather than low 30's. Suggestions seem to be that it will be thundery humid weather rather than blue skies and sunshine. Sorry to read about the damage from you heat wave. I think our heat waves are probably on a different scale to yours.
