7 photos that sum up our wash-out summer (so far) in York

SUMMER has arrived - not that you would know it.

As the heavens open, we are back into our winter coats, hunting out the brollies and putting on the central heating again.

Our Press Camera Club have been posting their eye-witness accounts of the wash-out weather.

Here are 7 photos that sum up our damp-squib summer (so far) in York.

Granted some of our photos capture blue-streaked skies - but it's hardly wall-to-wall sunshine.

But let's stay positive - there is still July and August to look forward to!
