By the numbers...


The numbers are in for July and they are weird. We had 80.8 mm of rain, the same as June and less than half of what we had last year. The temp was 14.9C, the same as last year and almost a degree cooler than the long-term average. How very strange, but certainly more welcome than the weather on the continent.
