Rain
Rainfall in June amounted to 55.4 millimetres (2.2 ins.), which was around 20% above average for the month. Measurable rain fell on 16 days, which was 6 days above the average, and wet days (when 1 millimetre (0.04 ins.), or more, of rain falls) numbered 13, and that was also 4 days above the average. A heavy shower on the afternoon of the 1st gave 3.0 millimetres (0.1 ins.) but the 2nd was dry day. However, the following 7 days each had measurable rainfall, with daily totals of 5.8, 4.8, 10.6 and 7.4 millimetres (0.2.0.2.0.4 and 0.3 ins.) on the 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th respectively.

Thunderstorms occurred on 2 days during June. One rumble of thunder occurred mid afternoon on the 8th, and several quite intense storms, lasting for over an hour, occurred mid to late evening on the 18th.
Snow
No sleet or snow occurred in Shoreham.
Wind
Pressure was higher than average across southern Britain, but with the centres usually positioned to the south of the country, it meant winds were predominantly from between southwest and northwest, with breezes from these quadrants accounting for well over half of the daily readings. Although there were no particularly strong winds, sea breeze enhancement gave several cool and blustery afternoons at the beginning and end of the month, with the lightest winds generally occurring around mid month. At Shoreham Airport, a squally gust of 36 knots (41 mph) from the southwest occurred on the afternoon of the 8th. On the 18th, thundery weather in the evening, was accompanied by rapid rises and falls of pressure along with some notable downdraughts from a northerly direction (although the storms were tracking in from the south). The highest gusts recorded were 37 knots (42 mph) early and mid evening. No further gusts above 30 knots (34 mph) occurred, but several afternoons at the beginning and end of June had southwesterly gusts between 25 and 30 knots (29-33 mph).
Fog
No fog was observed in this part of Shoreham, but low cloud sat on the Downs at times on the 7th, and throughout the day it stayed misty.
