Welcome to the June edition of In Your Vicinity 

Goodness, it’s been hot the past month, can’t believe we’ve had three heatwaves already. We do indeed need more rain, the plants are wilting, and the farmers are struggling with their crops. But for everyone else, they’re enjoying summer activities and going outside to try and get a tan. This is also the time of the year to go abroad and enjoy the sunny weather before autumn arrives with the rain. But be careful, the bugs are the worst at this time of year, especially mosquitoes, ants, wasps, and flies. As wasps and ants are reaching their peak for their colonies and are actively searching for food. And flies are attracted to waste and decaying matter making them a nuisance in the home, make sure to keep food secure and to seal entry points to try and keep the pests out.

We now reach the time where the children have finally finished school and get their summer break, most are looking forward to going to a new school or a college/sixth form or are planning where they want to go due to not finishing school yet. But they’re all grateful to finally get a proper break off, but I know it’ll go by in a flash. Then they’ll complain next month when they’re back again, enjoy the break whilst it lasts.

Now is also the time for stargazing, the Perseid meteor shower which is one of the most prolific showers, reaches its maximum between August 11 and 13. Look outside from midnight to 1am on the 11th to truly see them and don’t forget to be away from city lights or house lights.

For all those sports fans; the premier league starts on the 15th, the match being Liverpool vs Bournemouth. And for men’s cricket it starts on the 1st, the match being West Indies vs Pakistan and for the women’s cricket it starts on the 7th, the match being Ireland vs Pakistan.
