Sorry, I lost the original thread ... Martin was saying how dry
it had been, relatively speaking, in the Bracknell area since the
big rainfall event of July 7/8. This is in marked contrast to
north of the Thames were sharp showers have fallen almost
daily, and here in Luton the ground has been continuously
damp since I got back from hols on the 14th.

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.

For Southend (data courtesy of Keith) rainfall to the 20th is 44mm which is
not much different to same period last year. However, sunshine hours are
down by almost 50% (no great surprise!) from a mean of 9.7 to 5.6 hrs. Mean
max temp to 20th was 23.0C last year to 20.3C so far this July. Hopefully
the next week or so will provide some catch up!

Rainfall so far this month in Worcester (1-20th) has been 19 mm. Most of the
rain has been light and very patchy.

The average maximum temperature has been 21.9C
which is way down on last year but not too bad when compared to the
long-term average.

No sunshine figures but I could easily say that it has generally been a very
dull month (Tomatoes are ripening in the garden well though).

Here, the rainfall is just about spot-on for the first 20 days, but
judging by the set-up, there will be little chance of any more for at
very least a week.

Here in Warlingham we must be part of the recent dry area, the total
being 7.6mm for 9th-20th. However, the total for the month is 43.7 mm, which
is actually slightly above the normal for the whole month, July now being the
driest month of the year here (1983-2003).
