Another warm and dry month

June was another dry and warm month for us in the South East. Although in the last couple of weeks of the month the North of the country has had some rain. It has been the driest start to the year for 29 years.

We did not get the much needed rain; with the ground baked dry the animals and plants are find times tough. Despite the warm weather, winds have been quite strong, a nightmare when photographing flowers. One of our projects this summer is getting images of bees in flight, but this proves difficult when it’s very windy; but we kept persevering.

It looks like the dry and warm weather will continue in the South East, but some welcome rain in Northern and Western regions. However, that said, having just listened to a forecast, the chances are that the London area will get rain this coming Sunday, 4 July.

Mean maximum temperature                29.2° degrees
