I reckon if the airport was still open, Finningley would have beaten the June Yorkshire record which was set in 1976 (32.1C from memory) - sites like Waddington in Lincs got 32.6C today so it would have been very close !.

And in Sheffield the 3 wettest autumns on record have all occurred since 2000 - and the 3 driest springs have been 2011, 2020 and (this may change but it will still be an exceptionally dry spring) 2025 ! In data since 1882!.

When you look at the abnormal warmth of the sea, a much warmer than average summer looks a certainty.

Anyone hoping for decent rainfall in the coming weeks may be disappointed. The unsettled spell starting Saturday may be short lived with a growing signal that June could see high pressure back in control
