June was one of the wettest, dullest and coldest on record for Britain, according to figures.
Provisional data indicates that it was the wettest June since 1860, a spokesman for MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said.
It was also the dullest since 1909 and the coldest since 1991.
Average rainfall over England and Wales, including an estimated figure for June 30, was 157mm – 231 per cent of the average for the period 1981-2010, and on a par with the 1860 readings.
The equivalent figures for Scotland were 104mm and 171 per cent of the normal amount, and for Northern Ireland 145mm and 224 per cent.
Monthly totals at routinely available sites varied between 325mm at Capel Curig (Caernarfon) and 34mm at Stornoway (Isle of Lewis).
Average sunshine over England and Wales, including an estimated figure for June 30, was 123 hours, which is a mere 64% of the 1981-2010 average, making it the dullest June since 1909.
The equivalent figures for Scotland were 123 hours and 74 per cent, and for Northern Ireland 136 hours and 75 per cent.
