Is this colder than most ‘junes’? So miserable

Where are you, it's normal June weather here, mud teens to low 20's

Sorry, just need to untangle this. The jet stream is high up in the atmosphere. It does oscillate north and south. It the jest stream lies to the north of the UK we get warm air drawn up from Africa etc. If the jest stream lies to the south of us, we get colder, arctic air.
The Gulf stream or North Atlantic Drift is a warm ocean current that raises the sea temps around the coast of the UK by about 3 deg C. The current chilly June might be because of the recent El Nino pattern but I haven't checked the specifics.
In either case, changes to the pattern can create changes in the weather. If the sea temperature warms up (climate change) it will affect the weather patterns. Likely more changeable weather and rain. Deep joy.

This is one of the reasons why the term Climate Change is used now rather than Global Warming. Yep, a different buzzword for when the first one has been overused. I remember when it was "the hole in the ozone layer", and "the Greenhouse Effect": some people then got the wrong idea, and blamed tomato growers and their evil greenhouses.

Yes, it is very chilly for June. In May, we were still waiting for spring, never mind summer. The only comfort is that in previous years, children and teenagers were stuck in school doing exams during the only warm part of summer, which was then over by July. This year, they're not missing out; and there is hope yet for July and August, when Mumsnet will be full of "I hate the sun, I wish it would go away".

I've been in the Midlands for the last couple weeks, it's been really lovely.
Little grey here and there, but also sunny and warm.

At the fair in Tamworth on Saturday and caught the sun, as me nan would say. It can stay like this for.me..dry, sunny 20c or there abouts.

Yes, I'm old enough to remember that!

Yeah, actually it is nice not having a muggy bedroom at night!

Because children often find it boring and tedious? They'd rather be paddling or picnicking or something much more fun. People just feel better in the sunshine.

It has snowed in June since then too.

I don't like the heat so I don't mind this weather... i love a chilly night... bedroom window is open to let the breeze through.

I’m in London and it’s been 18 degrees plus for the last 3 weeks or so. So not cold, but also not sunny which I have more of a problem with! We need sunnnnn ☀️☀️

Absolute shite. Don't tell me to put a coat on, I haven't taken it off yet 😖

14° here yesterday. NW.

Someone told me that in the mid 70s it did snow early June.

Though its cold for this time of year, my hay fever this year is bad thanks to the wet spring which has created huge flowers and leaves - more pollen.

Yes although we have had some pretty warm days the temperatures over night have still be very low. 6/7c over night shouldn’t be happening right now.

Lots of crops don’t like below 10c and should be out by now.. it will affect food prices as there will be less produce or will require more artificial heat inside glass houses and polytunnels.

Its my birthday at the weekend, and as a child I always thought I had a 'summer birthday' but in recent years its been nothing like summer on my birthday.

I also feel like this has been the coldest June (and May) that I can remember and its very depressing.

Global warming affects the entire globe, but is affecting different regions in specific ways.

The reason that the UK is relatively warm, despite being really far north on the map (same latitude as really northern Canada!) is because of the jet stream, a current of warm water coming up from the tropics.

With global warming, the jet stream is getting more wobbly, and less stable. That means the UK in particular is going to get more unpredictable temperatures and - if global warming gets really bad - it will get much colder in the UK all year round.

The evenings are unusually chilly. Where are the warm evenings ?!

We’ve been trying organise an outdoor birthday get together/bbq and eventually opted for tomorrow. Now set to rain and be about 15 degrees.
So that’s 40 people to have inside the house for a ‘summer get together’ which will be… fun. We’ve now pushed the time back though, it was meant to be from late afternoon and now we’ve made it evening only.
We should be able to sit outside in June!!!

Not really the point is it ? Who wants to wear jumpers in June.

Feels like it has been, my plant seedlings aren't as advanced as normally and I've not been able to plant out my indoor grown ones as yet, still too cold at night.

I'm delighted with this weather. Its hot enough and sunny enough to sit out in by the afternoon, but cold and crisp at night so amazing sleep with all the windows open. Heaven.

Warming temperatures disrupt the Polar Vortex which pushes cold air into different areas than normal, apparently.

This is one of the reasons why the term Climate Change is used now rather than Global Warming.

It’s been warm where I live (south east) but it keeps raining :(

We've had the heating on in the last week 🥶
And also at night it's still chilly.

We went on holiday last half term, and the same week was glorious last year, and the year before etc.

Definitely not imagining it, as have photos to prove it!

But, hey, today looks like it is lovely!
