.... Just reading through/extracting data for July this year and went
to the Met Office web site to get a broad overview of the rainfall
anomaly for that month.

The page is accessed he you need to set up the month, parameter (in
this case rainfall) etc.

I don't know if I'm expecting too much, but I find that the scheme
used is far too bland. For example, much of Devon & Cornwall, southern
half of Wales and large areas of the north of England / SE Scotland
had 300% of the 1971-2000 average, with pockets 400% [ Camborne 444%
from 'Weather log']. These data are brought out well on the COL map,
but from this 'official' output nothing is shown 200%.
