June - 34 mm, 64% 1971-2000 mean (approx)
Jan-June 2007 - 261 mm, about the average.

June - 12 mm
Jan-June - 246 mm

I don't know how that compares to the average.

July seems to be making up for it, 61 mm so far.

Considering we are relatively just a short distance north of you
Steve, Fair Isle is considerably wetter than Sanday for the first six
months of the year.
Fair Isle Rainfall January - June 2007 is 457.8 mm
With the Fair Isle average (1974-2000) for the first six months of
the year 391.3 mm ie so far for 2007 we are at 117%
Anyone listening might hear me on R4 'Broadcasting House' tomorrow
morning as I've been asked to comment on the summer so far in
Shetland!
