York's washout summer in 5 photos - utterly depressing

It all started so well with record temperatures in June.

July and now August have been complete contrasts and total washouts.

We feel sorry for people taking their holidays just now - tourists pounding around York with brollies and plastic ponchos, trying to take in the sights while keeping dry.

And for all the families trying to entertain their children while school is out for summer.

Press Camera Club member Matthew Jennings really captured the mood in this glum set of photos showing people out and about in York during the summer deluges.
