Friday was a miserable day by any standards. It rained for most of the day putting any gardening activities on hold.

| Rainfall & Temperature Records 12 June 2020 |
By the end of the day, we'd had 13.8mm (0.54in) of rainfall making it our wettest day since 16 February 2020 when we had 16.8mm or 0.66in. It should keep the allotment and garden moist for a week or so. I think it seems wetter as a result of a couple of months without any rain. Looking back to last year at the same stage in June we'd had slightly more rain (50.6mm or 1.99in) than this year (45.8mm or 1.8in) but I don't think of last June as being particularly wet.
Friday did manage to break one June record as it became the dullest June I've recorded.

| Temperature & Solar Energy Records for 01 -12 June 2020 |
My weather station doesn't measure hours of sunshine but the solar energy output gives some idea of how sunny any particular day has been. The first couple of days in June were bright and reasonably sunny giving values of around 400 units. Friday managed a value of 50 which is the sort of value we average in February when the hours of daylight are much shorter.
The forecast is for the weather to improve over the next few days.
