Hi Norman

After looking at the yearly rainfall amount (1971 - 2000) for many places
around England, it seems that July is generally the driest month with a very
bizarre but pronounced increase in rainfall for June, Greenwich is a typical
example:

July is now the driest month of the year here at Warlingham,

I would not have believed this when I first took a serious interest
in the weather in the mid-50's. The figures estimated by Roger Brugge
(COL) for 1971-2000 for this site show an even more pronounced dip in
July.
