July has opened up really poorly, with temps averaging 2°C below normal. Max

22.2C has been my highest since 16/6.

It has rained on all but two days since then. Are you guys down south
suffering as badly as us?

Apart from one day where a vigorous low went straight over, I've
recorded surprisingly little rain.

Yesterday we had a moderate shower with 1.7mm, and a T/storm went by
about 6 miles to the north.
