Northern Ireland weather: Arctic airflow sees temperatures drop

The expression “Flaming June” is not connected with the weather – it’s the title of a painting of a woman in an orange dress sleeping under a canopy in the summer heat by Sir Frédéric Leighton.

It does conjure up the feeling of tropical warmth and that has certainly been missing so far this June.

The month might be more aptly named “Freezing June”.

Temperatures have been affected by a persistent northerly airflow originating close to the Arctic region and there has been an added wind chill.

On 1 June temperatures soared to 22.3C at Killowen in County Down.

This was not a trend that continued and for most of this month temperatures have been well below the long-term average of 17.2C.
