AUGUST 2024
 
August
was a dry month, the rain there was was quite spread out over the month.
While mean temperatures overall were slightly above average, the first
half of the month was warmest, peaking on 11th, steadily
dropping through the month. Sunny days alternated with dull ones so it
felt to be quite mixed weatherwise, but a pleasant month overall.

SEASONAL REPORT
FOR Summer (Jun,
Jul, Aug 2023)
------------------------------------------------
Seasonal mean temperature ranks 19th = highest in 70 years,
although June was cooler, July and August were warmer.
Seasonal rainfall was the 15th
lowest, with a particularly
dry June and August, and July just below normal. Raindays and wet days
were about normal, but only half the very wet days.
Although a less good indicator, cloud cover was 6th = lowest.
So statistically only slightly above normal mean temperature, but a very
dry season.
