June

Shallow fog developed on fields at dusk. 1st: Light rain from 0100 - 0530 GMT then some drizzle accumulated 7.5 mm that was credited to the 31st May (see above). At 09 GMT the sky was still overcast, but the cloud was thinning and was lifting from the lower slopes of the mountains that were still looking misty. Pressure was 1014 mb with high 1018 mb over the North Sea while low 988 was SE Greenland. An occluded front over Anglesey was slow-moving towards Merseyside arriving there about 1400 GMT. The morning kept dull and overcast, dry at first then with the cloudbase lowering again some drizzle came along before noon, reducing visibility from good to poor, before 30 minutes of light rain to 1230 GMT although nothing was evident on the rainfall radar. Soon the sky began to clear and there were some sunny spells. The grass looked a little greener after the rain and the vegetables had perked up too. The temperature rose to 13.9C, lowest of the month. By the end of the afternoon the sky was clear overhead and later shallow fog formed on the fields this persisting overnight. Brown long-eared bats were seen flying around the weather station at 21 GMT. {Kinloss 20.0C, Milford haven 17.7C} [Rain 1.0 mm; Max 13.9C; Min 10.4C; Grass 9.4C]
2nd: After shallow fog at 05 GMT cleared it was a fine and sunny morning with just a few small cumulus clouds seen over the Snowdonia Mountains. The morning was mostly sunny with the temperature rising to 21.7C before a NE'ly breeze off the sea came along. The wind was initially S'ly, but by afternoon convergent cloud had formed (sea breeze front) over the weather station as the NE'ly strengthened. There was a rapid fall in temperature to 16C that was maintained through the afternoon although the sky cleared again later. The evening was sunny. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 21.7C; Min 8.2C; Grass 4.6C]

The recently restored Laburnum Arch at Bodnant Garden. Bodnant Garden dates from 1875 and is one of the finest gardens to see specimen trees in a natural setting, including over 100-y old giant American Californian Redwoods (146 ft) and Oregon Douglas Fir (158 ft) and, at this time of year, flowering rhododendrons and azaleas Azaleas and bluebells under trees in Bodnant Garden. many varieties of which were grown at Bodnant all growing well in our climate and soils Trees and azaleas in the Dell at Bodnant. . Established by Henry Pochin, an industrial chemist, the garden was given to the National Trust in 1949 by Henry McLaren, 2nd Baron Aberconway, and is managed by his descendants that retained the house (1792) Bodnant Hall and Garden. . The Lily Terrace has a fine view of the E-facing slopes of the Carneddau Mountains View of the Carneddau from the Lily Terrace. . Many of the trees and Rhododendrons grow on the sides of the Hiraethlyn River valley Hiraethlyn River flowing through Bodnant Garden. , cut by melt-water from the overflow of an ice-dammed lake during the latter stages of the last Ice Age. The Denbigh type soils, typical of a large part of Wales, are slightly acidic being low in calcium and other nutrients and suit the growing of califuge plants including Rhododendrons and woodland. It was a warm sunny day and parts of the garden were perfumed by the aromatic leaves Scented green leaves and white flowers of Mexican orange blossom. and scented pure white flowers of Mexican orange blossom Close up of the flowers of Choisya ternata. . The garden recently described, unfairly I thought, as 'an old man's garden', is being restored Laburnam flowers on the restored Arch. and re-developed in parts A formal garden being re-developed. by a team of gardeners under Head Gardener Troy Smith. To have started planting Bodnant over 100-y ago required vision: To maintain the garden today needs a lot of work, make a visit soon and see for yourself.

3rd: With scattered clouds, a light SE'ly breeze and sunshine it was a warm morning with the temperature at 09 GMT already 20.0C (dewpoint 13.0C). pressure was 1023 mb with high 1025 mb over the Wash and S North Sea. Visibility was good with smoke haze developed. The day had some good spells of sunshine and the temperature by afternoon reached 23.3C; cirrus kept to the NW and convergent cloud formed over central Anglesey today keeping the sky clearer here. {Hawarden 23.5C} [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 23.3C; Min 11.5C; Grass 6.8C]
4th: Some high cirrus clouds early had cleared by 09 GMT. The morning was mostly sunny with moderate smoke haze developed. A few patches of moderately high clouds passed over around noon. The breeze kept S'ly all day and was strong enough to hold back the cool NE'ly off the sea so that the temperature rose to 24.0C during the afternoon. The first comma butterfly of the season was spotted in the garden. The evening was sunny too and 'big ears' was flying around the weather station when it was still quite light at 2100 GMT; there were some large moths in the garden no doubt an attraction for the bats. {Northolt 27.9C, St. Athan 24.7C} [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 24.0C; Min 12.5C; Grass 7.6C]
5th: A cloudier morning with altostratus and cirrus although cover had reduced to 5 oktas at 09 GMT. Visibility was good with persistent smoke haze. At times the day was overcast with cloud that was thin enough for weak sunshine at times. By evening the cloud was thicker, but there was no rain. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 20.1C; Min 11.5C; Grass 7.5C]
6th: At midnight thicker frontal cloud had encroached and by morning low cloud and drizzle began to affect NW Anglesey. A cold front associated with a shallow low over London brought storms and heavy rain showers across W and N France into Belgium during the morning and Spain, Germany and S France by afternoon. Dry and bright here at first with a little light rain from noon enough to wet the ground, but not enough to restore soil moisture levels. Soil moisture measured on the 5th was 25.8% dry mass with surface soils dry and powdery. Some sferics were recorded in SW Scotland and to the S over Wales, the Midlands (with some heavy showers) and SE England during the afternoon. The evening was dull and damp. [Rain 0.9 mm; Max 17.4C; Min 10.6C; Grass 9.1C]
Looking across the salt marsh in Red Wharf Bay towards the Ship Inn.
7th: Overcast skies at first becoming brighter with glimpses of sunshine later. Pressure was 1011 mb with a low 1000 mb SW Ireland pushing a warm front towards the Irish Sea. The temperature at 09 GMT was 15.3C (dewpoint 12.4C) and this rose to 18.0C in the afternoon that had some warm sunshine in a S'ly breeze. On the shore at Red Wharf Bay, where the salt marsh was a blaze of pink flowering thrift (click on panorama above), there was a cooler NE'ly breeze off the sea, but 19.9C was recorded in Pentraeth.. Dark clouds built up S of the Snowdonia Mountains and there were a few spots of rain before continuous light to moderate rain set in from 1700 GMT; rain was heavy for a while around 2230 GMT. [Hawarden 19.3C, Pembrey Sands 22.6 mm, Mona 19.2 mm, Valley 1.2h] [Rain 14.3 mm; Max 18.0C; Min 10.8C; Grass 8.8C]

In Red Wharf Bay there is a salt marsh (open panorama above) that has typical hummock and channel formation. Plants (halophytes) that grow on salt marshes are tolerant of salt water to a greater or lesser degree. On a rising tide the sea flows into the channels, and unless it is a spring tide the tops of hummocks rarely become inundated with salt water The salt marsh in Red Wharf Bay. . The tops of the hummocks have a flora including sea pink (thrift) and sea plantain, but both also grow on mountains too Sea pink and sea plantain on hummocks in the salt marsh. . Smaller and sometimes missed, growing on the driest parts of the marsh, is the sea milkwort that is a member of the Primulacae Sea milkwort.. The plant also occurs in saline habitats in Staffordshire and Worcestershire.

8th: Moderate rain continued until 0500 GMT and 14.3 mm was accumulated in the rain gauge over 12 hours. This was the most since 30th March (21.3 mm). A dull morning, but no more rain. With a low over the Bristol Channel pressure here was 1000 mb with an occluded front stretching from Anglesey to Kent. Visibility was very good, cloud hugging the mountaintops occasionally revealing the last surviving patches of snow The remaining snow-patches on the Carneddau. . Brighter around noon with a few glimpses of sunshine and some longer spells in the afternoon; dark clouds associated with showers S of the mountains kept away. During the evening a line of low stratiform cloud stretched along the line of the Menai Strait with the mountaintops remaining clear. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 18.0C; Min 12.2C; Grass 11.9C]
9th: Overcast and dull at first with poor visibility in haze. There was some breaking of the cloud overhead at 09 GMT and it was for a time brighter, but there was little if any bright sunshine. Pressure was 1003 mb with low 997 mb over Cape Finisterre the low-pressure extending 1001 mb to SW England. Complex frontal systems lay over Britain and W Europe. There was showery rain in mid Wales, N Ireland and NW Scotland. The afternoon was bright at first, with the sun seen occasionally through thinner patches of cloud, then the cloud thickened bringing slight drizzle and a shower of light rain from 1515 to 1530 GMT amounting to just 0.6 mm overall. . A dull, but dry evening. [Rain 0.6 mm; Max 15.6C; Min 12.2C; Grass 11.5C]
10th: Not a lot of change in weather overnight that was mild with a minimum of 11.8C and 11.3C on the grass. There was a moderate to fresh NE'ly breeze and soil, concrete and grass were all dry. Pressure had risen 1012 mb with high 1022 mb N of Scotland and low 992 mb anchored in the Bay of Biscay. A band of frontal cloud stretched over the Irish Sea to the North Sea. Cloud hung low on the mountaintops, but thinned here with the morning becoming bright with some glimpses of sunshine. In the afternoon the cloud began to disperse giving clear sunshine into the evening here although some cloud persisted over most of the mountaintops. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 15.7C; Min 11.8C; Grass 11.3C]
11th: Shallow mist formed on the fields at dawn and cloud moved across soon after so that at 09 GMT we were back to an overcast sky. The grass was very wet with dew and mist droplet deposition, but the soil surface and concrete were dry. The grass minimum temperature had fallen to 5.9C, and the soil temperature at 5 cm depth was 14.5C. The Biscay low was filling 1001 mb, but going nowhere, with pressure here 1011 mb continuing to rise. Brightening during the morning, but hazy moderate visibility and cloud on the mountaintops persisting. A rapid change to clearer good visibility just after noon sent me hastily with binoculars to my snow observing position. The tops had been obscured since the 8th and I was able to confirm that the snow-patches in gullies between Foel-grach and Carnedd Llewelyn had not yet melted, but the smaller one was now very small, just visible with high-power binoculars, and likely to disappear soon The last snow-patch on the Carneddau Mountains.. This is the latest date for snow to last on the Snowdonia Mountains in recent years. Sunshine here into the evening but cloudier on the mountains. Sunshine is not good for the NW-facing snow patches. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 16.6C; Min 8.6C; Grass 5.9C]
12th: A bright morning, but convective clouds increased up to 09 GMT (5/8). Pressure had risen 1017 mb and we still had the cool moderate NE'ly breeze although the general airflow was NNW'ly. Sunny spells during the morning with the sky almost clear during the afternoon. While flowering plants have been outstanding this year, butterflies are low in numbers. Earlier holly blues and orange tips were frequent, but we have seen only individuals of peacock, red admiral, comma and speckled wood. By 1700 GMT frontal cloud began to encroach and had already brought rain into N Ireland and the Western Isles of Scotland. Though cloudy the evening to midnight remained dry. {Valley 12.3h, Mumbles Hd. 19.2C} [Rain 0.4 mm; Max 15.0C; Min 9.8C; Grass 8.2C]
Great spotted woodpeckers, fledgling (L) female (R). 13th: We had a shower of rain around 0200 GMT with just 0.4 mm caught in the rain gauge. A dull start to the day with a few small spots of rain on the window at 07 GMT. The windvane indicated a change in direction of wind to SW, a ridge 1015 mb began to move into S Britain from large Atlantic-high 1032 mb N of the Azores. The Biscay low had moved towards Gibraltar, but had filled and was losing its identity over the Mediterranean. But, a thundery low 1010 mb developing over the Western Isles of Scotland, with associated frontal cloud, was over Britain and the Irish Sea. At 09 GMT the chiffchaff was still singing together with 2 blackbirds, but birdsong has fallen off. There are lots of fledglings about, families of blue and great tits visit the feeding stations. Two families of woodpeckers also visit (the second of the season), the parent (female right) shows the fluffy youngster with red cap (left) how to feed on the peanuts. Males often do this; birds of other families are not tolerated although we have more than one feeder squabbles develop. A wren is sitting on a late clutch of eggs in a nest, previously built by the male, on top of an unused swallow nest under the eaves of the house above the front door, and holding up maintenance work! Bands of showers in the N began to move SE during the day, the first was at 1130 GMT, interspersed with a little sunshine. During showers at 1625 GMT thunder was heard to the SE of the station. In Llanfairfechan at the same time there was thunder and 'ferocious' ice pellets for a few minutes; thunderstorms and heavy downpours were reported in parts of the Midlands eastwards during the evening. By evening the wind had veered to the NE, giving a fresher feel. At 2100 GMT with a clearing sky it was still light enough to read thermometers, but soon became cloudy again with a shower of rain at 23 GMT. [Rain 4.4 mm; Max 15.5C; Min 9.8C; Grass 8.1C]
¤ 14th: No more rain after midnight; variable amounts of cloud with some sunshine breaking through before 09 GMT. There was a moderate to fresh NE'ly wind and already soil and concrete were dry. Pressure 1020 mb was rising with the Atlantic-ridge (high 1031 mb N Azores) beginning to dominate. Yesterday's low was over N France and moving S. Increasingly sunny through the day with cloud lingering over the mountaintops. A small tortoiseshell preferring full sunshine and a speckled wood preferring dappled shade on the edge of the wood were seen. A fine evening with the wind lessening. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 15.6C; Min 10.5C; Grass 9.0C]
15th: A fine and sunny morning with very good visibility that enabled confirmation that the snow-patch, in a deep gully between Foel-grach and Carnedd Llewelyn, had survived another day. The day kept mostly sunny with few clouds and with a light to moderate NE'ly breeze the temperature was pegged to 16.8C. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 16.8C; Min 8.5C; Grass 4.8C]

With 11 of the first 15-days dry rainfall of 21.6 mm was running 34% of the average for the month. The mean temperature was 14.2C (-0.1) and [+0.6] of average..

16th: Overnight a clear sky allowed the temperature on the grass to fall to 5.5C so there was some dew. Another fine and sunny morning with 6 oktas cover of high cirrus cloud and, unusually for here many contrails some expanding forming cirrocumulus. Visibility was very good with slight haze and with persistent, but lighter NE'ly winds off the sea the temperature rose to 18.3C during the afternoon. [Glasgow 23.5C, Pembrey Sands 22.1C, Hawarden 20.9C, Capel Curig 19.8C, Valley 19.6C, 14.3h, Aberporth 15.7h] [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 18.3C; Min 8.6C; Grass 5.5C]
17th: A cloudy morning at first, but after 09 GMT began to burn away to give a sunny day on Anglesey although cumulus clouds persisted over the Snowdonia Mountains. The temperature rose to 18.8C in the force 3/4 NE'ly breeze. If you found a sheltered spot it felt a lot warmer. The growth of grass at the weather station this year to this date (2. 8 tonnes per hectare) has been the lowest since before 2004 (7.2 tonnes per hectare) due to a combination of low temperatures in the spring and low rainfall. Soil moisture today was 26% dry mass, well below the 72% saturated water percentage and low enough to limit grass growth, but above the permanent wilting percentage of 15%. In parts of the island grass on shallow soils around rocky outcrops and roadside verges has looked yellowish brown for a week or two. During the evening visibility reduced to moderate to poor and the sky looked very murky. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 18.8C; Min 12.0C; Grass 8.5C]
18th: At midnight with low 1003 mb over the Baltic associated frontal cloud over Scotland was moving S and began to encroach here by 03 GMT when low mist formed on the fields turning to a 'dry fog' by 06 GMT. At 09 GMT fog was lingering in mountain valleys with mountain tops in the clear, while visibility had improved to moderate here. Grass, concrete and soil were all dry, a dry or non-wetting fog has a very small droplet size and does not wet anything. Pressure was 1023 mb influenced by the Atlantic-high 1030 mb, a weak cold front was just to the North, but a detached warm front lay to the West. The sky was overcast with the air temperature 14.2C (dewpoint 12.0C, RH 87%) and soil temperature at 5 cm depth 18.0C. By 1045 GMT the cloud had thickened and there were spots of rain for about 15 minutes, these evaporating and not wetting the ground. The afternoon was overcast at first, brighter later and as the cloud moved further S began to clear around 17 GMT. [Rain trace; Max C; Min 9.0C; Grass 6.5C]
19th: Mostly cloudy around 06 GMT and beginning to clear by 09 GMT with fair weather cumulus clouds moving from the N across the sky. Winds were strong on the North Sea around low 993 S Sweden. Showers affected the East coast through the day, but here cloud cover reduced and visibility improved to very good by the afternoon although the NE'ly breeze was cool with the highest temperature rising to 13.3C. In slight haze I could no longer see the diminishing snow-patch on the Carneddau without the aid of binoculars, but it was still there during the afternoon. A fine sunny, but cool evening. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 15.2C; Min 8.7C; Grass 5.5C]
20th: With the sky clearing after 06 GMT it was a fine and sunny morning. The temperature at 09 GMT had reached 15.2C, exceeding yesterday's highest temperature. With high 1026 mb to the W over the Atlantic, pressure here was 1023 mb There were a few cumulus clouds during the morning, less of them in the afternoon before some patchy moderately high cloud moved across later in the afternoon. Today's temperature reached 17.0C. Visibility was good with slight earlier haze clearing. After 1800 GMT the sky was mostly cloud covered. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 17.5C; Min 7.2C; Grass 3.8C]
21st: With just 2 oktas cloud cover at 09 GMT and a light SE'ly breeze the temperature had risen to 17.5C, the maximum of the past 24-h. Scattered mostly moderately high clouds during the day and in the sunshine the temperature reached 23.6C. The evening was bright with weak sunshine as some cloud encroached from the West, this clearing later. {Castlederg 26.5C, Hawarden 23.1C} [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 23.6C; Min 9.2C; Grass 6.4C]
22nd: Overcast with good, but very hazy visibility. Pressure was 1024 mb with high 1026 mb to the S over the Channel. The cloud cleared away slowly during the morning becoming brighter with sunny spells developing. The SW'ly wind force 3 at first strengthened to force 5/6 during the afternoon raising some local dust. Visibility improved to very good and the Carneddau snow-patch could no longer be seen having completely melted on the 21st, a remarkably late date in the current climate. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 21.4C; Min 11.2C; Grass 9.0C]
Drilling platform working at Beaumaris Pier. 23rd: A mostly cloudy morning with some weak sunshine at times and a moderate to fresh S'ly breeze. The afternoon had a little sunshine before turning duller with the wind not moderating. Later turning brighter again with some more weak sunshine during the evening. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 20.6C; Min 12.5C; Grass 11.3C]
24th: A cloudy start, but hints of something better to come with some breaks appearing by 09 GMT. With less wind today, there was not so much dust and tree debris flying about, the latter more noticeable because of the very dry weather. By afternoon there were sunny spells. At Beaumaris a drilling platform was stationed, work taking up to 3 weeks, to sample the sea bed around the pier. It is intended to return the pier to its former width and strengthen the timber supports. A new landing pontoon will be built and other work to enhance the kiosk and shelter. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 20.7C; Min 14.0C; Grass 12.7C]
25th: Cloud was increasing before from 3/8 to 5/8 cover by 09 GMT. Soon mostly cloudy here although there were some blue patches to the N. In the West the sky was mostly clear and the day sunny. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 20.5C; Min 13.2C; Grass 10.8C]
26th: A sunny morning with the temperature at 09 GMT risen to 19.8C (dewpoint 14.0C). There were a few small cumulus clouds to the S together with remnants of expanded contrails. Visibility was very good with a slight haze. The temperature went on to rise to 24.5C, the highest of the month. {Charlwood 28.6C, Hawarden 26.2C} [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 24.5C; Min 11.8 C; Grass 8.2C]
27th: The sky was almost clear at 0530 GMT then clouds developed so that at 09 GMT there were 6 oktas of cumulus and cirrus. Overnight the air temperature had not fallen below 14.6C, highest of the month. The breezy morning (S'ly force 5) soon turning dull with spots of rain at 1145 GMT on and off for about an hour. Afterwards the sky began to clear and it was a mostly sunny and dry afternoon. A clear sunny evening with less wind by 2100 GMT. [Rain trace; Max 22.0C; Min 14.6C; Grass 12.2C]
Rainfall accumulated 24-h up to 09 GMT on 29 June 2010. MetO, Internet & local sources. 28th: A bright morning with fair-weather cumulus clouds moving along on the fresh S'ly breeze, some higher altocumulus and cirrus hinting encroachment of a frontal system. The temperature was 18.5C (dewpoint 13.2C). Pressure was 1020 mb with low 1005 N of Scotland with an associated occluded front running down the North Sea. A developing frontal-wave was W of Ireland and looked to be heading our way. It was a mostly sunny morning, but turned cloudier with a freshening f5/6 S'ly wind by noon accompanied by some spots of rain from 1230 GMT, but keeping bright with glimpses of sunshine. By 1500 GMT the low 1025 mb was over Ireland with a warm front over the Irish Sea. The cloud thickened by midafternoon with light rain setting in by 1545 GMT then heavier showery bursts during the evening as, with the low over the Isle of Man, pressure was falling. [Red Wharf Bay 40.4 mm, Pentraeth 39.7 mm, Pentraeth AWS 32.5 mm] [Rain 26.1 mm; Max 20.7C; Min 13.6C; Grass 11.8C]
29th: At midnight pressure had fallen to 1015 mb and at 0045 GMT, associated with an active cold front, there was sudden onset of heavy thunder, 'magnesium flare' white lightning and heavy rain. Thunder and lightning continued locally with very close lightning strikes and with the brilliant white light seemingly inside the house there was a series of loud fizzling discharges about 0120 GMT and the electricity supply failed. Thunder and lightning continued further away to the E until 0150 GMT. We, and a large part of SE Anglesey including Beaumaris where at the Doctor's Surgery the computer system was down and with failure of refrigeration thermally sensitive supplies could have been affected. We were without an electricity supply until 1130 GMT with a further short interruption in the afternoon. I found that electrical surges had rendered 3 electronic telephones and broadband microfilter splitters unusable, so it was out with the antique phones kept for such emergencies. TV, WiFi and equipment on Belkin surge protectors were unscathed except the line connection had failed; I had unplugged my computer system in time. I will put replacement telephones on similar protectors in future! There were reports of similar damage to electronic equipment in the area. Anglesey viewed on 30th June from near the summit of Foel-fras. We made coffee for breakfast by boiling water on a gas barbecue, the generator was got ready to run had the electricity supply not been restored (we were once without electricity for 48-h over Christmas during severe gales). The sky was still overcast at 09 GMT, pressure 1019 mb had risen and 26.1 mm of rain had collected in the rain gauge, the most in 24-h this very dry first 6 months of the year! Observer Charles Aron in nearby Pentraeth reported that rain during the storm was torrential and recorded 39.7 mm while Keith Ledson at Red Wharf Bay had 40.4 mm.. Slowly the morning brightened with sunny spells coming along, the afternoon was cloudier, but it was dry. [Rain 0.0 mm; Max 18.8C; Min 13.5C; Grass 13.2C]
30th: A bright morning with 6 oktas cover of mostly cirrus clouds. Pressure was 1019 mb in a transient ridge of high-pressure and the day kept fine and mostly sunny. Lines of orographic convective clouds were present through the day and cumulus persisted in the W over the Snowdonia Mountains; the mountaintops kept clear of cloud until 1900 GMT when cloud descended to 3000 ft. Later as a warm front over the Irish Sea encroached, associated with low 984 mb W of Ireland that was pushing the high-pressure over the North Sea, cloud thickened with slight rain keeping just off the W coasts of Anglesey and Llyn until after midnight. [Rain trace; Max 23.5C; Min 11.2C; Grass 7.6C]

It was the sunniest June since 1975. The 251.7 h of sunshine (142%) and [149%] recorded at RAF Valley was the 3rd highest on the Anglesey record (K&Z adjusted values). Rainfall here was 47.7 mm (75%) and [72%], lowest since 2006, brought rainfall for the first 6 months to 286.4 mm, lowest in Llansadwrn since 1929 (283.7 mm). Temperatures were above average with the mean 15.0C (+0.7) and [+1.4] of average, highest since 2006.
