BBC News NI weather presenter Cecilia Daly takes a look at how NI's summer compared to others.
Killowen in County Down on the hottest day of the summer"What summer?" I hear you say; something so many people have asked me over the last few months.Kelly McCaughanThe Met Office released its provisional figures for the months of June, July and August on Monday.The average maximum temperature was 17.4C, which is 0.6C below the long-term average, taken over the period 1991 to 2020.It has been dull with just 82% of the average sunshine, or 344 hours.
August was the wettest of the three months, particularly across counties Tyrone and Fermanagh, where rainfall was almost 1.5 times the average.You might think this cannot be right - "it was so wet", "it rained all the time" and "it wasn't that warm".The highest temperature of the summer occurred at Magilligan, County Londonderry, on 24 June and farmers made the most of these scarce warm, dry days to make hay.
