MONTHLY SUMMARY
 
Overall, yet another warm month. May, June, July, September and now October 2006 have all
recorded an average temperature well above the 30 year Durham mean. Just August the odd 
one Out in these 6 months. The mean temperature here was 12.1ºC, which is 2.6ºC above the
71-00 Durham average. Very substantial. The lowest temperature of 4.3ºC, again very mild.
for rainfall, slightly above the long term average with 66mm, but it was a showery, changeable
month overall with 19 days with rain>1mm (as opposed to the average of 11). Quite blustery
near the end as a couple of Atlantic depressions moved through, bringing more traditional
October weather, but remaining very mild.
