yes, thats official. not the other non qualified froth heard on here


It's nice to see the word "blocked" in that article.
" The big differences in rainfall pattern across the UK, illustrate just how
varied the weather can be across the country. 'Blocked' weather patterns
have kept many southern and eastern counties dry, but Atlantic weather
systems and their rain-bearing fronts have affected regions further north
and west. "

Now, about that hot and dry June? :-)
