The cold spell of 5-11th June 2024 in Central England

Of all months, June in Central England is the slowest to catch on to the fact that global temperatures have increased by close to, if not more than 1.5°C since the start of pre-industrial times.

The mean temperature of 11.34°C was 2.31°C below the 1961-1990 LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO. which made it the coldest period since 2001.

Monday, 2 June 1975 – The day that snow stopped play

I’m guessing, but it looks like the snow that stopped play at Buxton was from heavy snow showers over high ground, enhanced by that trough close to Liverpool at 12 UTCUTC Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time (such as UT1) at 0° longitude (at the IERS Reference Meridian as the currently used prime meridian) and is not adjusted for daylight saving time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).. I remember the day quite clearly because I was a window cleaner back then in Sheffield. Needless to say, I didn’t get many houses done that Monday. 😉
