Now 16 consecutive days without rain here. Only rain of the month so far was on July 2nd with 7mm.
Amazingly, this is now the longest spell without measurable rainfall I've ever recorded in July, in records going back 30 years. In fact, we're not far off the longest dry spell in any Summer month here! The record to beat is 20 days set by June 1992.
As a result, the river Trent here is the lowest I've seen it for many years.
