The dry area shows up very clearly in the figures but it is
really quite small in extent. Here are some totals for
July 9-20 inclusive (no. of rain days out of 12 in brackets):

Odiham 2.8 (4)
Charlwood 3.4 (6)
Farnborough 5.8 (4)
Benson 12.2 (5)
Northolt 14.0 (5)
Heathrow 14.8 (5)
Luton 16.1 (8)
Andrewsfld 16.8 (11)
H.Wycombe 17.0 (5)
Bedford 17.4 (8)
Manston 25.4 (7)
Wattisham 25.6 (8)
Holbeach 57.2 (9)

The England and Wales total is running at about 160%
or the norm ... see www.climate-uk.com/page2.html
But it has, so far, been an exceptionally dry July in
north and east Scotland.
