A decent downpour overnight here, but we still missed the majority of it yet again. 10.0mm since midnight which takes us to a still very dry 15.4mm for the month.

 

Unless we get any more it'll still be the driest locally since 1935. The closest target at the moment is 1977 on 16.5mm.

Further to my correction to the rainfall amount for the 27th in the Weather reports section, the total for July is 105.6mm which makes it the 7th wettest July on record with 4 days to go.

Today's showers have pushed July's rainfall above the average. Literally all bar 1.0mm of it has fallen in this last week. It feels odd saying it's been a wetter than average month when the grass is still grey and the trees (particularly Beech) are still showing signs of drought/heat stress. What compounds it too is a lot of the rain has fallen overnight (apart from today and yesterday's rain), which makes it feel all the more like the total shouldn't be above average. 52.6mm so far, with more rain expected over the next couple of days.

71.1mm so far in July, with most of that falling within the last week, putting us above average for the month. We're now at 323.3mm for the year so we're still over a hundred millimetres below average for the year up to the end of July.

110.3 mm here up to 1800 g.m.t yesterday which makes it the 6th wettest July in the last 36 years.

Next up on the list is 2002 with 112.8 mm, which may well be exceeded if today's forecast is correct, and above that is 2008 with 118.0 mm.

Meanwhile here we still seem to be missing everything, the last couple of days of thunderstorms gave just 0.4mm.

 

For the month we're on just 19.2mm, only 36% of average.

A final total of 22.6mm here for July, just 42% of average.

 

It'll be interesting to see the MetOffice panel charts at the end of the month as looks like we were one of the driest places.

65.6mm for July - 121% of average and the 5th successive wetter than average July. The were only 10 rain days and 7 wet days though.
 
The true total will have been higher as the tipping bucket rain gauge underestimates in periods of intense rainfall. I have a manual gauge and normally the results are similar but last Sunday and Tuesday gave about 35mm in the gauge compared to 29.4mm recorded by the Vantage Pro. I would therefore estimate true total to be 70-75mm.

Rainfall for July was 75.2mm, which is 24.5% above the average of 60.4mm for the month. Over 2/3rds of Juy's rain here came from the two thuderstorms that brought torrential downpours.

 

Total rain for year for the first 7 months of the year is 386.0mm, when the average for the first 7 months should be 396.1mm, meaning there has been 2.55% less rainfall so far this year than there should have been.

These are now out, and it looks as if your area was indeed one of the driest places.

After that 22.6mm in July, August is following suit aswell. We've had just 3.0mm so far.

 

The summer as a whole we've seen 80.6mm, even if we get another 45mm between now and the end of the month it'll still be the driest summer since 1995!

Those maps can be so misleading.. according to those maps, we had over 240 hours of sun in July, when we had 221. I'm also pretty sure Filton airport, as one example, did not have over 320 hours of sun in July. Did anywhere have that much sunshine?

 

Either way, a definite westward bias in July as well as June.
