Hi Simon,
Rainfall totals for Tideswell for each of the months this year and percentages

* * * Jan * *75.9 mm *(65%)
* * * Feb * 164.4 mm *(200%)
* * * Mar * *14.6 mm *(16%)

* * * Jul * *72.4 mm *(92%)

Overall, we're therefore on about 87% of average for the first 7 months of the
year. August has been dry with only 21 mm of rain in the first 13 days.

Here, 10 of the last 11 months have had below average rainfall, and the
11th was only about 5% above normal.

No measurements, but judging by the grass colour (very green)
Hampshire doesn't appear to have been especially dry. Not especially
wet either, but there was a notably wet spell during much of June and
(apparently, I was away but that's what I heard) for a week beginning
July 16th. Frequent cool temperatures and cloudy skies have probably
restricted any browning of the grass.
