A very good month overall, with very consistent temperatures. No remarkable heat at all, with 8.2°C between the warmest and coldest day. Despite the lack of real heat, every single daytime high was above average. I don't think I've ever seen that before in a summer month, or any month for that matter, here.

The month was very dry, with only trace amount of rainfall until the past weekend, when severe thunderstorms came in and actually gave us above average rainfall for the month!

Just for fun, here's the Umeå University rooftop station (like London's old weather centre).
26.4/15.1 (it is kinda comparable in difference to the airport station as Uppsala is, 26.4/15.1 to 25.4/13.0 vs 28.7/15.4 to 27.8/12.9, although I'm not saying this rooftop station is accurate).

Much warmer than June. Once again, NO thunderstorms. As per usual, the work experience fags at the BOM failed to provide a complete sunshine data set, every time there's like 2-3 days missing, not sure why they even bother.
