“Here in the land of the rising sun it is well NOT sunny at all,” writes reader Michael B.”

While we are in the wet season, so extra rain is expected what isn’t expected is the way below average temperatures.

“Daytime temps have been averaging about 5°C below average across many parts of the country. It has also been cloudy virtually everyday for the past 3 weeks, with a lot of rain.
In fact rain almost everyday and sometimes very heavy.

“Sunshine has been non existent too.

“So far this months average has been 2°C cooler than June. It should be warmer than June.

“This weather is set to continue for a while longer as yet.

“As we currently have a reverse El Niño I doubt this will change much.”
