June
June ended with average temperatures and significantly above average rainfall levels. Unfortunately, data from the 25th June to 1st July was lost due to a power cut. All of our available data will be added together with data from an alternative location (South Normanton) which is a couple of miles away. On June 25th about the whole months worth of rain fell in a single day. Truly exceptional, although not good for many people. Although 14.8°C is the result we have, the actual adjusted figure is based on a combination of data.

Overall Results
A poor summer by all accounts, this summer will be marked down in history as very wet overall with slightly below average temperatures. A summer that has certainly left many people and organisations with egg on their faces after predictions of blazing hot sunshine never came to fruition. A summer notable for not even achieving 30°C at any time, the highest temperature being 29.2°C, recorded on August 5th.
