24.7 mm today to 1800Z.
This brings the total for July to 80.9 mm.
The average for July is 64 mm, so we are 25% above average already.

Who was it that said the dry weather in June was going to continue
into July?

Hi, Len. You couldn't do us a favour, could you please? Go outside your back
door, take a deep breath, and give a good long blow in a sort of ENE
direction. We're stuck on 8.1mm for July so far.

Thanks.

I've done my best for you Jim. Rain is on the way albeit not much.
Someone's got to shift that jetstream.
I am but a mere mortal.

Gawd. That was quick. We've just had a couple of sharp showers that gave
about 1/2mm. Not a lot, but at least it has rained.

Thanks very much.

Screw the jetstream - it's the blocking high that needs to FOAD...

But doesn't the position and shape of the jetstream determine whether
there will be a blocking high and where it will be?

Yes it does and the probable movement of the waves in the jet is very
well illustrated over the next few days. .

Jetstream today, to our south and the UK the wrong side of a big
southward-looping Rossby wave, leading to a surface low.The "wrong"
side of the jet for summer:

Forecast jet position by Sunday, with a Rossby wave looping to our
north, leaving us in an area of sinking air, giving a lovely, settled,
dry and sunny conditions for much of the UK. The "right" side of the
jet for summer!

Hoping that will last for much longer, but it's presently a bit
"fingers crossed", at best, for me.

Yes - but blocking Highs are easier for the layman to understand.

That is true for a lot of us, though...
