Commenting on the results, BDO said: “June’s unseasonably cool and wet conditions continued this week, with lower-than-average temperatures combined with spells of heavy rain across much of the UK.

“This week’s generally chilly weather was a stark contrast to the same week last year, during which the UK experienced sweltering conditions due to hot and sunny weather that saw temperatures in the mid to high 20s.”

Footfall was depressed across all destinations this this week, falling -4.0% overall, pulled down in particular by high street foot traffic which fell -6.3%. Retail park and shopping center footfall were also down year-on-year, falling by -1.3% and -1.8% respectively compared with the same week last year.
