June 2009 Summary

Temperature [Max]: The average maximum temperature for June 2009 was 21.04 degs, which is more or less average for recent Junes despite the heatwave of the last few days. The 8th of the month actually saw the coldest ever recorded June day at this location, 14.7 degs, and the highest maximum [25.0 degs] was infact recorded on the 3rd - again despite the recent heatwave.

Temperature [Min]: The average minimum temperature for this June was 12.45 degs, making it the second coldest since 2004. As with maxima, this was perhaps surprising due to the recent heatwave, but then the month also had the coldest ever June Night at this location, that of the 6th/7th, where the temperature fell to just 6.4 degs - not far off a ground frost!
The highest night time minimum of 15.9 degs [on the 29th/30th] was the highest June minimum since 2005.

Rain: Rainfall figures have only been measured here for 15 months, however June 2009 was the driest month so far with just 16.1 mm of measurable rain, falling on just 3 days - the wettest of which was the 17th, [7.5mm]. There were 23 completely dry days.
June 2008 had 36mm of rain in total - the 2nd driest month recorded so far.
