Hi Chris, I am not far from the seven bridge about 15 miles from Cardiff. It has not stopped raining here for the last several days. All outdoor work is still on hold.

Ah, that explains why you've had so much rain.

By the sounds of things I think we can forget June as a summer month and hope for the best in July.

June is often wet in the UK - if you do a search in your preferred search engine for "return of the westerlies" you'll find out why.

Just as an FYI - some areas, specifically mine(!) are under a thunderstorm warning for both late Tuesday and Wednesday:

"return of the westerlies"

A phrase I have never come across and what a fascinating read it makes. I am really intrigued by the overwhelming amount of information on this subject and shall endeavour to study it a little more.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, much appreciated Chris.

Is there still interest in this?

Yes.

Another cool overcast and uninspiring day, it's been a bit of a mixed bag this month, still, can't complain, it could be a lot worse! P.

Great info again Chris and I am starting to learn the lingo a little but can you advise me what "GFS" is please? It seams to be mentioned constantly on the forum and I am becoming lost in translation.
EDIT: and "UKMO?"
