The last thing crops need now is a dull , overcast and wet June, remember 2012?? No rain in may last year and crops yielded better than expected, This year we have had plenty of rain in May, not getting concerned yet! When the grass needs mowing less than once a week it's starting to get s little dry.

We have already had more sunshine hours in June this year than we got in June 2012!

June 2016 was really dull in Staffs. Winter barley yields were absolutely appalling due to lack of sun and OSR not much better.

2012 we got monster yields despite it being the wettest summer that I can remember.
