Seems like Junes ending in 16- ending years have not had the greatest chance of fine, dry or warm weather.

June 1816 was part of the Year without a Summer - very cold and wet.

June 1916, already been explained.

June 2016, extremely dull and very wet in places. Where I lived in NW Kent I'm confident in saying it may be one of-if not the wettest June on record. The dullness was astounding.

Unless we gain the ability to prolong life expectancy to 150-200+ years in my lifetime then I don't think I'll be able to report on June 2116
