Remarkably dry so far this month across some parts of central southern England (basically anywhere that has missed the thundery showers).
I have recorded just 4.4mm this month which is consistent both with other reports on here and also some official stations.
Closest official station to me is Odiham which has recorded 6.4mm this month (13% of the long run average for the whole of July).
Elsewhere Isle of Portland has received just 7.8mm and Middle Wallop 8.4mm.
Total rainfall so far this summer is very low in many southern areas. Not exceptionally so but if August is also very dry then we could see one of the driest summers on record here in the south.
