Now up to 84.6mm with 195.8mm for the summer. This is already more than June/July 2007 (192.4mm) and 2012 (189.4mm) and more than the entire summers of 2005 (124.8mm), 2006 (98.0mm), 2010 (178.6mm) and 2013 (135.4mm).

2.0mm from yesterdays showers brings my monthly total to 20.8mm 

93.8mm here - a disgusting 171% of average, recorded on a disgusting 24 rain days.

Beat June 2012 and August 2014, each with 23 rain days, as the most rain days for a summer month in my 11-year records. Of non-summer months only April 2012, with 26 rain days, and March 2006, January 2010, January 2014 and November 2014, each with 25 rain days, were worse. Says it all that no October or December were as bad.

Just as shocking were the total of 20 wet days (>1mm) exceeding the previous summer record of 19 in August 2014. Only five other months have recorded as many as 20 wet days: November 2014 with 22; October 2006 and January 2010 with 21 and December 2009 and April 2012 with 20.

June/July rain total of 205.0mm comfortably beats the previous high total of 192.4mm in 2007 and rain total for Jan –July period is the highest for the Aberdeen area since 1877

Final total 18.0mm

Final total is 74.9mm, less than half of last month's total but still above the 65mm July average for this area.

Going by the charts, I'm expecting an average August total here - pure guesswork!   

The driest July since 1976 here just 7mm of rain all month, shame there wasn`t 1976 heat and sun to go with the dryness,a really disappointing July, again!!!!

My rain gauge is broken but looking at local station data it would suggest around 20mm of rain only has fallen here. It has been very dry and the gardens have needed watering most days . All storms missed us and there has been very little frontal rain.

Final total for July here was 32mm, just 62% of our average of 52mm.  Only the driest July I've recorded since 2010.

Most notable was the fact there were no thunder days at all here during July 2016, and according to my records there is only one other July in the last 34 years which failed to produce thunder here, that being July 1990.
