Winter begins in June

 The weather has been a little ordinary recently.  The average temperature was been below normal since the start of the month. This is shown by plotting the 'anomaly'  given by the observed average temperature month to date minus the long term average for the same period.

This could be expected from looking at the daily extremes.

The other notable factor recently has been the wind.  Maximum hourly gusts have been well above 30 kph since 3 pm yesterday, peaking at 53.1 kph at 0100 hrs this morning (12 June).  That is the 33rd highest gust recorded (out of ~28,000 hourly observations).

This had the unusual effect of generating circles of spray across the lake.




Later in the evening the Western sky was interesting.
