2001 was a good Summer while June wasn't special, it was still mostly sunny throughout, apart from a few days however beginning of June was not that good but luckily it improved, however here it wasn't that dull even then, but a bit cool, The end of June however improved more, and got warmer and sunnier into July. July wasn't bad the warmth from June continued into July , and July 2001 was sunny throughout not wall to wall blue skies but the sun was mostly always around that month it didn't go away for a prolonged period of time like 2005, Mid-July went downhill a bit but was still warm apart from 2 days but it was still sunny (Here at least) End of July 01 improved and became warmer again still not that hot some days were hot but overall was mostly very warm and sunny. July 2001 here didn't really have a prolonged dull period like the end of 2005. The warmth in 2001 continued into August and August 01 was really nice and sunny mostly, and warm. No overly prolonged hot weather, although 30c was reached but most of August 2001 was pleasant and sunny and summery.
