Finally, some heat!

June 9th, 2014 | Weather

June 2014The other day I was watching the commemoration of the D-Day landings on my news channel – celebrated on the Normandy beaches under blue skies and warm sunshine. As I looked out of my own window it was rather depressing to see the rain, falling from leaden grey skies, accompanied by a chilling wind. This is just not typical June weather. Indeed, without exaggerating, there have only been a handful of days so far this year when the daytime temperatures have exceeded 20°C (68°F). Not ideal for grape cultivation…..

In my desperation I consulted the weather forecast to see if there was any change on the horizon, and what I discovered was quite an eye opener. This week’s forecast shows a dramatic leap in temperatures, from today’s 17°C (63°F) to just over 30°C (86°F). Does this mean I can finally put my winter sweaters away?
