Down in Penzance it's also been dry, with the exception of June,
though not so dry. Even so it's been the driest 1st 7 months of the
year since 1992. (Norms are for 1981-2010)


Year to end July 81%

Just 63% here!

Seeing Norman's post, the dry weather seems pretty widespread. Plenty
of Atlantic fronts in the last few weeks, but generally so weak.

For 'weak' read 'virtually non-existent' here.
