We were getting worried. The weather records have been dropping like flies over the last few days and never a mention of Santon Downham.
Obviously we save the best for last just before the weather is set to turn. For the 3rd day in a row, hottest June day on record indeed other places briefly stole first place but SD pipped them at the post with 37.6C.
Don’t forget we have other records. The coldest temperature ever recorded in Santon Downham—and the whole of the UK—during the month of June is -5.6°C. This record-low temperature occurred on both the 1st and 3rd of June in 1956, shared with Dalwhinnie in Scotland.
