  I am going for a ‘reverse Lettucing’ for June.

 

   CET 10.8.C

 

  Yes, coldest June on record and first ever sub 11.C June.

 

  The month will fail to warm significantly from May with an incessant feed of Northerlies or North Easterlies. Temperatures by day will stay rooted in the low teens and by night under any clear spells will readily fall into single figures. Nowhere in the UK will hit or exceed 20.0.C all month!

 

  A particularly brutal Northerly feed mid month will send some locations even in England failing to reach double figures... followed by some very unseasonal frost and temperatures falling below zero widely across the country. 

 

  The most spectacular aberration this month will be a Low that piles into the cold air. This will feature SNOW on its leading edge and temperatures bottoming out to 0.C briefly in parts of the Peak District with short lived blizzard conditions. 

 

EWP an academic 77mm

 

 Summer is coming......in August!

A June much like 1980, which will start off with a warm or hot spell, lasting for 4-5 days. After that, some thunderstorms and much cooler and very dull weather will dominate. 
 

It looks like our nice sunny May/June period is under threat this year from even producing at least one full week of warm sunny spells. Even 2017 and 19 gave us a few days here and there between May and June 2018, and 2020 were very good for midsummer sunshine levels,  but my guess is all the warm sunny evenings will be reserved for august this time round.

12.7°C and 72mm.

I am going for a low pressure dominated June this year, but with a hot spell during the last few days; reaching 30°C in many places.

An interesting prediction, and one I wouldn't mind going through. Coldest June in living memory was in 1972 at 11.8C. would take a lot to get it under 11. However I feel like 12.5 to 14.0 is the most likely range given our current climate.

I'll go for 15.3C and 65mm please, Roger. That's using both my methods -- guesses 1&2, respectively!
