COMMENT
 A windy month with temperatures generally lower than normal, as indicated by the 
14 snow days and 16 frost days, and my cold feet. 
The maximum gust of 153 kph occurred during the storm event on the evening of the 31st.
Paradoxically, we experienced slightly above average sunshine during June
No records to report for June
