lester.gosbee@btinternet.com In 2016, England had one of the wettest Junes on record with 72mm of rain in Frittenden with 15 wet days. This June, there were just seven days with recorded rain during the month of June, but with the hot weather storms, I recorded 62mm of rain in Frittenden during June, which is almost two and a half inches. This June was a hot one, with a central England temperature of 16c/ 60.80f, which is 3.42 f above average. It was the seventh warmest June since 1910. The weather looks like settling down over the weekend and next week....back to hay making for farmers.
