I don't think they've been in the ground long enough to bulk up.
I'm wondering if perhaps the leaves are suffering from a form of rust, but that's a guess.
Which variety of garlic is it ?
Seriously though, apart from the weather l really don't know, with luck a more knowledgeable and recent garlic grower will come along.

Plant garlic cloves on the shortest day of the year, harvest on the longest day of the year - rule of the thumb.
