Was the summer wetter and cooler than usual?

July and August were less sunny than usual, with 620 hours of sunshine compared to an average of 640. According to Hubert, the months of the holidays were more bleak than usual. The fact that the summer temperature was above average is because the warmer month of June had not been measured before this year, which made up for the delay.
