ConclusionTemperatures during July 2024 somehow still came out at around average despite looking odds on to be cooler than average for most of the time, thus symbolising once again just how difficult it is to get a colder than average month these days but the highest maximum temperature is poor for what should be the warmest month of the year on average.
It was a drier than average month once again, but it was yet another duller than average month and so our increasingly long wait for our first sunnier than average month since January goes on.
