A week ago some weather models were suggesting that yesterday (Thursday) would, not only be the warmest day of the year, but in my case the hottest day my weather station has recorded over the last 10 years. Needless to say that forecast changed over the past week. In the end the forecast on Thursday morning still suggested that Thursday, if not the warmest of the last 10 years, might well be the warmest day of this year, with the temperature reaching 24°C (75.2°F) in the afternoon.

| Temperature Record for 27 June 2019 |
Rather amazingly as we come to the end of June our warmest day of the year goes back to 21 April when the temperature reached 24.6°C (76.3°F) as today's temperature only made it to 22.6°C or 72.7°F. It is also worth noting that the overnight temperature fell to 6.5°C (43.7°F) a record low for my weather station this late into June. It now looks like we'll have to wait for Saturday to break the record when the temperature is forecast to hit 31°C or 87.8°F.
However, one record is certain. June will become the wettest month of the year as the total for the month already stands at 85.0mm or 3.35in.

A real seesaw when it comes to rain!
ReplyDeleteThe forecast for rain changes by the hour. Thunderstorms forecast one minute have disappeared from the forecast the next.
DeleteNice photo. I'm glad that the big European heat wave passed you by.
ReplyDeleteWe are due to get one very hot day which is Saturday. Many years ago now we were on holiday in France when the temperature was in the mid 40's centigrade or around 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Far too hot even for holiday weather!
