it was very warm, 25, and no clouds
Very warm???? Here is 32 in the deep shadow, and dry like Sahara. I think it's really madness growing alpines in Hungary. :'(

Warmest June here in Canberra for 51 years.  Only had two official "below 0'C" nights, which hasn't happened since records began.  Day temps were 3 above average for the month.  Less than half the average rainfall for the month too (same as April and May).  Not particularly good!!!!! ::)
Cheers.

Canberra, Australia.
Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

After a breezy, showery morning, the wind has really got up now with driving rain so, if North of me, you are still in the garden, you wont be for long! Can this really be July?? >:(

I think all the good weather this year has been in Antrim, apart from a few good days in June it's been pretty dire here this year so far.

27 and not a cloud in the sky, but at least there's a gentle breeze.

Snow on the ground when we awoke.  -0.5C at the moment. Snow falling heavily driven by gale force winds.  Make the most of your lack of rain, + sunshine, Maggie.  Was it hot and sunny for our cricketers?

Fabulously sunny day here. Shame Jamie Murray lost the mixed double semi. I notice that my escaped snake (not my fault) gets a mention in Andy's book. ::)

A July morning. Trees thrashing around in a gale, rain driving in, skies as black as night. Could a man ask for more!!
