The first half of July was rather cold, but thanks to two warm spells in the second half of the month, the mean temperature for July ended up being 16.3°C, thats -0.5°C below the 1991-2020 LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO.. That makes two consecutive colder than average months, which happened as recently as 2023, when both July and August were colder than average.
