MONTHLY SUMMARY
 
AUGUST 2006 WAS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE TO JUNE AND JULY. A VERY UNSETTLED MONTH WITH FEW
WARM SUNNY DAYS. THE MONTH WAS CHARACTERISED BY CLOUD, SHOWERS AND COOL DAYTIME TEMPERATURES.
RAINFALL WAS AROUND THE DURHAM 30 YEAR AVERAGE, BUT RAIN >1MM WAS RECORDED ON 17 DAYS.
TEMPERATURE WISE THE MONTH WAS ABOUT NORMAL, ALTHOUGH THE MEAN TEMPERATURE WAS BOOSTED BY WARM
NIGHTS RATHER THAN WARM DAYS. A TOTALLY FORGETABLE MONTH IN AN OTHERWISE MEMORABLE SUMMER, AT
LEAST THE FREQUENT SHOWERS WILL HAVE PLEASED THE GARDENERS, AND EVERYTHING TURNED GREEN AGAIN!
