The No Rain Club (aka - When did you last have rain?)

[The PIT]

Looking like we may get our first measurable rain today either 0.1mm or 0.2mm

[Mokidugway]

First rain in 31 days ,wish it would sod off now .

[Stationary Front]

7mm since end of May. 2 local ponds and 3 small local streams dried up.

[reef]

Not a drop here for 27 days now. So far this summer we've seen 12.6mm and only 43.2mm since 28th April.

Monday night or Tuesday look the most likely to provide some rain for this location, so we'll probably go a full month without any - something which hasn't ever happened, even back in 1976.

Some very fine rain,just enough to wet the tarmac,maybe half a mil. not going to help anything in the garden,not seen fields like this since 1995

[TJM14]

Mmm are you sure about that, first rain yesterday for 20 days only, some general moderate long lasting stuff today. We had a wet week between 13 and 20 June.

No rain then though I was in Estonia ,I believe there was some thundery rain in lakes according to my mate in torver 

[Stargazer]

Trace amounts from a couple of light showers on 16 and 17 June, otherwise absolutely no rain since 3 June here, and the heavy showers have been all around us but no rain here today. So less than 1mm in 40 days and absolutely nothing in 27 days here.

[moorlander]

21 days without a drop then at 1725 on Friday the 13th BOOM 12mm in just 20 mins.

As it passed, trailing edge gave some rather mean & loud thunder claps.

should do enough to dampen the tinder dry moorland and give the fire brigade a break

[The PIT]

wow 4.4mm yesterday.

Last time we had a few drops of rain in Aylesbury was the morning of the 16th of June with less than half a millimetre of rain but no measurable/proper rain since 30th May!

Ah hello fellow Aylesbury-dweller! I don't even remember that sprinkling on 16th June. If the EC is to be believed, we won't get a good chance of rain until at least next weekend. Getting on for 2 months without rain must be unprecedented surely?

[Cambridgeshire Weather]

Since 12th May, 2 months and longer

Very unusual and perhaps historic yes but not unprecedented but incredible that it has been so dry the grass is golden brown and even some small trees beginning to wilt and are turning yellow!

I don't have my own rainfall records but my nearest met office station at Bingley gives 33 mm for June ,July and August in 1995

[Dami]

i know right. mine are quite dry too.

[reef]

29 days without a drop of rain here now and GFS 12z has us with just 3mm between now and the 30th - all of which is supposed to fall tomorrow night and into Tuesday.

I suspect any areas that miss out over the next few days could be waiting a while looking at the models.

You sure it's that low. Forecast for BD19 has torrential rain.

If its in the form of showers, inland generally gets hit while the onshore breeze kills it off here.

Eastern areas look particularly dry.

It's actually the front over the Irish Sea now but clearly it's going to struggle once its passed the Pennines.

The GFS rainfall charts are nonsense quite frankly, it is overestimating convective rainfall on most days. Our forecast is completely dry bar the chance of a shower tomorrow afternoon - and unless we actually do get a very heavy thundery downpour I don't see us getting anywhere near 10mm this week.

Tomorrow is a messy front, not a shower. Albeit your point stands the rest of the week.
