Using Philip Eden's Website, there's been 105.5mm to 23rd July.

My estimate of the total England & Wales rainfall for the whole of
July is 125mm, making it the 5th Wettest July since 1914.

What do others think?

In my case, this month has been the wettest I've ever recorded (24
years), beating 175.8mm in Apr 2000.

185.8mm & counting...
