Last June's average rainfall was much lower than the historic June average rainfall and this was reflected in all of the regions.

The biggest difference was seen in the North East, which recorded an average of only 0.9mm in 2021 compared to the 15.7mm average for June.

The South East recorded an average of 11.4mm last year compared to the 24mm average, while South Central recorded an average of 49.3mm compared to the 60.8mm average.

June has already delivered some rain for regional areas, so farmers will have to wait and see whether last year's low rainfall is repeated or not.
