Breezy and Dusty with Warmer Daytime Temperatures in JUNE 2024
June 2024 was off to a rather bleak start. Light rain showers accompanied by loud thunder were observed on three days in the opening week. This was accompanied by temperatures well below the climate norm. Meteorological conditions took a more seasonal turn over the course of the second week, as summer slowly gained momentum.
The mean temperature of 24.8°C was around the seasonal norm. This combined a warmer than average mean maximum temperature but a cooler than average mean minimum temperature. The latter could be attributed to the delayed heating of the sea surface. Last month’s maximum temperature stood at 34.3°C and was measured on the 20th. Most days in the second half of the month featured 30°C + temperatures.
June is often a very dry month. This one was not one of the exceptions. 1.1 mm of rain was recorded from three days of isolated light rain showers which were accompanied by loud thunder. The rain was accompanied by copious amounts of fine desert sand. In fact, a very interesting feature last month was the persistence of airborne fine desert sand. A staggering 23 days were characterized by a thick blanket of haze from over north Africa.
June 2024 was also a very breezy month. Half of all days last month featured wind gusts of Force 5 or stronger. The wind direction varied considerably.
