The first 10 days of July have produced 7.1mm of rain here (presuming there
will be none today) which is 31% of the 1971 - 2000 average for this period.
The year's total now stands at 192mm which is 61% of the average and
since the beginning of May only 42.6 mm has been measured - this is 37% of
normal.
Looking at the charts for this week doesn't give me much hope that the dry
weather will end soon.

.... Here in Bracknell, the monthly total (so far) is 8.7mm [19% of eLTA
1971-2000]. As you say, everything looking dry, both on the ground and
from the forecast charts.

In a month when I would expect at least 100 mm total we have had 5.0
mm so far.

Similar in Warlingham, with 225 mm this year, only 57% of
normal. Also, Nov & Dec 2004 were dry. 12.2 mm this month and not a
lot to come in the next week.
