Not good, is the two word description. The wettest June ever on record in Wales, and distinctly cool for most of the month, finally warming up to a bit below average. Sunshine was well down, with June 2012 ending up 20% down for sunlight compared to June 2011, which hadn't seemed very good at the time. The solar photovoltaic panels don't lie. Only 398.6 kWh of electricity were generated.
The group garden visit on 12 June had few roses to see. By today, July 5, all is flowery, with the midsummer Rosa Mundi and Brenda Colvin looking gorgeous. Young stems of Brenda Colvin were broken by the persistent easterly winds last month.
