Completely Dry in June 2020

Air temperatures varied between the highest maximum of 33.0°C (on the 30th) and the lowest minimum of 17.4°C (on the 1st and 2nd). Averaging at 27.0°C, the mean maximum temperature was some 0.8°C below the average for this time of year. The minimum temperature, on the other hand, was 0.3°C warmer than the expected value. This made for June being an overall fairly typical one with regards to air temperature. No heatwaves were experienced. In fact, temperatures only exceeded the 30°C mark on 4 days.

Atmospheric pressure was slightly weaker than what one would expect in a typical June. The central Mediterranean was affected by zones of instability more often than usual. This is also reflected in the number of days with winds in excess of 39 km/h (Force 6). This wind speed was reached on a total of 9 days in June 2020. The strongest gust was measured at 59.5 km/h from the Northwest on the 5th. That day also accounted for the lowest atmospheric pressure reading for June 2020. Most days last month were characterised by a Northwest wind. A more unstable atmosphere also contributed to an overall higher level of relative humidity.

Despite the greater instability, June 2020 ended up being a completely dry month. It was the third completely dry June in the past 10 years. The closest rain showers and thunderstorms were over Sicily.
