| Flaming June?
This month was particularly warm and dry up to the
summer solstice on the 21st.
Gales, floods, fallen trees and landslips have caused
havoc across much of the south of England as flaming
June felt more like miserable November. The weather
changed for the worse, heavy down pours and high winds
resulted in Wimbledon tennis being rained out. Tennis
fans had to make do with repeats of earlier matches
on the big screen the weather forced the cancellation
of all of the day's play..
The Severn Bridge was also closed as a result of
high winds. The heavy rainfall on the night of the
22nd June, resulted in floods isolated floods on the
A3102 Wootton Bassett road at Swindon. Many cars got
caught in a flooded road and caused traffic jams.
