No especially high temperatures here though 26.9C was achieved on the 12th and the 18th but generally maximums were below 25C

Without the welcome soak on the 28th it would have been a very dry month.

Stats for July in wareham,Dorset

Mean Temp  19.9c

Highest Max Temp 31c

Lowest Min Temp 8c

Rainfall 65.5mm

Summary- Although it was hot for 2-3 weeks this July,in terms of heat, falls way below the Julys of

2006.1995,1983 & 1976 both in temperature and duration not to mention rainfall was about average.

I guess its because this is the first spell of proper heat for 7 years is why some people have got excited

and made ridiculous comparisons to the years above.

This July can hardly be classed as extreme at all!

Here is my July 2013 summary.

 

Mean max temp:  21.46C

Mean min temp:  12.20C

Overall mean temp:  16.83C

Highest maximum temp:  27.9C (on the 18th)

Lowest maximum temp:  15.9C (on the 28th)

Lowest minimum temp:  6.1C (on the 2nd)

Highest minimum temp:  16.9C (on the 18th)

No. of days with maximum temp of 25C or above:  4

No. of days with maximum temp of 20C or above:  21

No. of days with average or above maximum temp:  27

Total rainfall:  61.1mm

No. of days with measurable rainfall:  9

No. of days with thunder:  1

 

Quite simply the summer month I've been waiting for!  It was the warmest month I have ever recorded (since starting records in 2009) with the mean maximum temperature some 2.86C above the 1981-2010 average.  The month was predominantly dry with a run of 19 dry days up to and including 22 July.  78% of the monthly rainfall total fell on just two days (24th and the 28th).  I also recorded the highest maximum temperature ever of 27.9C on the 18th.

Two records fell this July:

1. The average monthly temperature for July is my hottest ever, and by almost 2C. We'd expect around 13.5C on average, in the end we hit 15.3C and that is with some spurious low temps bringing the average down!

2. It has been my driest July ever with a pretty insignificant 35.2mm. We would expect more like 75mm going by my July 5 year average. This continues a dry trend I have seen over two years now.

My overall maximum temperature measured in July was my second highest ever at 25.2C, though it was far behind the anomoly that was 27C in June 2009. As for the rest of the stats, not a lot to say. High pressure dominated so not a lot of wind. Ignore the spurious 0.1C minimum, that was the sensor playing up.

Temperature stats (and anomalies) in °C:

Mean Max: 25.13 (+3.43)   2nd highest July value in series 2003-2013 Highest is 2006 with 27.1°C!

Mean Min: 13.20 (+1.40) 4th highest July value, behind 2008 (13.21), 2003 (14.13) and 2006 (15.77)

Mean 24h: 19.16 (2.41)  2nd highest July value behind 2006's astonishing 21.44°C.

I'm impressed with that overall

Total rainfall: 32.8mm (-22.3mm). 4th driest in series behind 2005 (29mm), 2006 (24.8mm) and 2010 (19.5mm).

Total sunshine: a mind boggling 334.1 hours! Sunniest in series, beating 2006's 297.5 hours. The next sunniest, 2010, only has 213.9 hours and the LTA is 223.5 hours... not often I see a surplus of over 100 hours of sunshine in a month

Statistics for July 2013 from Folkestone, Kent.

Warm and Sunny

A cool, breezy and showery first three days gave way to an extended spell of fine, warm and settled conditions with high pressure dominant between 4th- 21st. Temperatures were never excessively hot due to refreshing sea breezes and the tendency for the core of high pressure to be located just to the north drawing in NE'ly breezes at times. A violent thunderstorm and associated gust front on the 22nd July ushered in a more changeable but still warm remainder of the month. A plume of renewed warmer air on the 26th broke down with a weaker thundery episode. The last few days of the month were cooler, fresher and breezy with an atlantic based airmass.

The monthly total rainfall of 62.4mm was bang on average but 53mm of this fell in those two thundery episodes.
