We had one of the hottest weeks for June and since yesterday the temperature has plummeted so much that we had snow. Yes
SNOWEven by British standards this is a remarkable turnround.
While roads stayed largely clear, snow did settle on the hillsides, notably around Upper Teesdale and Weardale.'
The summer snow came in the same week that saw the warmest day of the year.
On Monday, temperatures soared to 80.6f (27c) and beyond, with the highest reported at Port Solent, Hampshire, which sweltered at 27.2c.
Yesterday, amateur weather watchers in Brampton, Cumbria, were astonished at the unseasonal snow.
'The cloud is beginning to clear over the Pennines and from Penrith lying snow is clearly visible on Cross Fell above about 2,300 feet,' said Adam Woodcock.
'This is very late in the season for snow even on Cross Fell. For it to fall and lie in the early afternoon in June is remarkable.
'We had two hours of heavy rain with a temperature of 4.5c- 5c ( 40- 41f) between 12noon - 2pm so snow higher up is not a surprise.
'Those early afternoon temperatures in Penrith are very unusual. To think it was only four days ago that it reached 26c.'
