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

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

Potential for thundery showers tomorrow associated with the front though. Our Met Office forecast shows the thunderstorm icon at 3pm, and a 40% chance of light rain at 2pm. The forecast before showed no rain at all, so it could all break up and fizzle out before reaching here.

Visited waterfalls in Ambleside and they were a rather pitiful state, though still some water gushing down - all quite odd, given how normally heavy flowing they are in an average summer.

Seen them in full spate ,very impressive

No rain at all since 17 June here and less than 7mm this summer so far. Doubt that front will produce anything down here, and at the moment there doesn't seem to be enything much on the horizon.

Visited the in-laws in Ireland last weekend - County Cork has had a hosepipe ban for a while now.

Last measurable rain here on the Essex Riviera was 14th June (when the World Cup began) and that was an unexpected event. 1.5mm here since the beginning of June.

Apart from one heavy shower on Friday late evening, we’ve had almost no rain since late May. 

[Mikel Nimbus]

We had 2mm on the 30th of May and nothing since. Was hoping for a bit from this evening's cold front but it's fizzling out over the Midlands.

[TJM14]

Finally got a tiny bit of rain but it was a very small bit

[hillbilly]

Light rain just arrived.

[Summer Sun]

26.7mm yesterday the bulk of it came from a prolonged thunderstorm between 9pm and 11pm

[mike5900]

5mm on 2nd July. Only 7.6 mm from first of June.

It certainly seems like it, Lauren!

I recall a night of relentless thunderstorms/torrential rain, in 1976...when I tested my soil, it was bone-dry below about 2"...IMO, to avoid a more serious drought, next year, we'll need a deluge? 

10" through September to December ought to do it...otherwise - we're fooked!

It's been 51 days....literally, here. Amazing.

[Jordan S]

It’s been 49 days here in Aylesbury crazy!

[alexisj9]

I'm pretty sure there's been no measurable rain here since late may. All the June storms missed us in the se extreme corner.

[ARW WeatherMan]

Still no measurable rain here in Hertfordshire. Think it's into its 6th week now! 

All the grass is brown and the trees are even wilting 

No sign of any rain on the horizon with computer models suggesting sometime before is July out reaching 35/36oC!

Ditto, although that is applying the de minimus rule, as we have had a few instances of 0.2 mm.  That aside, last rain was early hours of 30 May.

If it stays dry today and tomorrow, that will double my previous record!  Insane.

[Harry233]

Absolutely no rain between 19th June-12th July, this was helped by some drizzle early morning on the 12th and some light rain on the 15th. Not quite as long as last year where I recorded no rain from 15th April-12th May.

They are? Which ones? I can't see anything to suggest much above 30c.

I may be wrong but the BBC forecast on the TV have been mentioning mid 30's for next week in a few of their forecasts and TheWeatherOutlook which from following it for quite a few years seems to be correct most of the time it says possibility of near record breaking temperatures 

This was from their Buzz feed this morning

Nothing more than clickbait.

Okay thankyou! Won't get my hopes up yet then

I generally (though not always) find the Met Office's further outlooks to be more useful than seeking out the hottest ensemble-member from each and every run, and then getting all hot and bothered about it... Just because something's possible doesn't make it probable?
