Each month we can bring you details of the weather at Attenborough with data from our digital weather station.
June : From Showers to Flowers
The first two weeks were generally unsettled with spells of rain and often overcast conditions. The 5th and 6th will be remembered for the impressive thunderstorms that produced almost half of the month’s rainfall, with the water levels in the ponds quite high for a period afterwards. Although temperatures were generally around the average mark, the 8th and 10th were particularly cold and gloomy; the former saw some damp children enjoy a visit to the reserve (including puddle jumping) and the latter saw only 7kwh of electricity generated by the Centre’s solar panels - a figure more usual for January!
From the 20th high pressure took charge with sunny conditions and some very warm, even hot, days experienced out on the Reserve. The weather was ideal for some of the Reserve’s wildlife, with a good show of wildflowers for the training course the Centre ran and dragonflies were seen in significant numbers for the first time. Despite a brief thunderstorm in the early hours of the 29th, little rainfall was recorded after the 14th and dry and dusty conditions prevailed out on the footpaths, Along with the high temperatures and mugginess, this made it hard work for visiting school children and “can we have an ice cream” replaced the usual “when is it lunchtime” that Centre staff have become accustomed to.
Highest temperature: 28.3°C - 2th (average June extreme max. 28.4°C)
Lowest temperature: 7.3°C - 20th (average June extreme min. 6.0°C)
Average temperature: 16.6°C (daily min. + max./2) around average
Monthly rainfall: 68.3mm - (116% of average: 59.0mm.)
