Where's summer gone?

It's mid June. We know this because it says so on the calendar, there are baby birds everywhere, there's too much daylight, the Isle of Wight Festival has just happened - and it is cloudy, wet and chilly. I have tried - and failed - to get out to see comet C/2009 R1 McNaught, every time I have planned to observe it, clouds have interfered. Hopefully, the weather will improve soon; the weather forecast is looking a bit better from tomorrow.
