In June 1940 the max temp was 20.4 c and the min temp was 11.7 with 3.8 mm of rain
In June 1941 the max temp was 17.2 c and the min temp was 10.9 with 15.2 mm of rain

and while we are on a roll
In June 2011 the max temp was 19.5 c and the min temp was 10.9 with 62.5 mm of rain

As far as the weather in the UK goes, you pays your money and takes your chance

That's for sure.

However, the main point to this, is that from about 1PM or earlier in the day, is likely have SL temps of ~15c or less. Mean Temps of 19C or higher would be rare and typically restricted to late afternoon. The idea being pushed by the 100 Octane Deniers that English Summer Weather automatically means 19c or higher is nonsense.
