A curious find in Batch 8, from this day 149 years ago:
Historical weather forecast records for Oxfordshire for June 1866, from the Met Office website:

Thankfully the weather in Oxfordshire today is glorious, for which we’re sure the sheep are truly thankful!
This storm is mentioned in one of the Oratory School magazines, and described at greater length, but I don’t have the time to source it.
Best wishes, Paul Shrimpton
