June Starts Wet After Record-Breaking Dry May
South Wales Experiences a Damp Start to June
Following a remarkably dry and warm May, which broke records in some areas, South Wales has experienced a noticeably wetter start to June. The shift in weather patterns has brought a period of drizzly conditions across the region, contrasting sharply with the sunshine and warmth of the previous month.
May’s Exceptional Weather
May 2024 will be remembered for its unusually high temperatures and exceptionally low rainfall. Many areas experienced significantly less rain than average, leading to very dry conditions. This dry spell, combined with the warm temperatures, created a stark difference compared to the typical weather expected during this time of year.
June’s Shift to Wetter Conditions
The arrival of June has brought a change in weather patterns, with an increase in cloud cover and rainfall. The drizzly conditions have been widespread across South Wales, impacting various areas that previously enjoyed the dry spell. This shift marks a return to more typical weather patterns for this time of year.
Looking Ahead
The wetter conditions experienced in early June are expected to continue in the coming days. While the persistent drizzle may be a disappointment for some after the glorious May weather, the rainfall is beneficial for gardens and the natural environment following the extended dry period. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on weather forecasts and adjust their plans accordingly.
