An unusual start to the day.

The monthly mean is 14.5 C (-0.4 C)

Rainfall 64mm (80%)

Sun 76hrs (44%)

With 8 days to go we've not even reached 50% of July's sunshine (Swanston weather station)

I'm currently sitting outside in my Mum's garden and there are some occasional sunny intervals at times.

As has been the case far too often during this year (and not just during this summer), there's far too much pesky cloud around once again and it's a bit breezy though not too windy.

Currently around 18°C here in Hawick.

23.8C 

Variable cloud (mostly high) 

Breezy 

Warm 22.1c, high 22.9c 

You're lucky that you got to 21°C up there.

Down here in Hawick, it's been mostly overcast all day with just the odd occasional sunny interval and a maximum temperature of no higher than around 19°C.

Currently partly cloudy, 22.9, dew 16.0, the high being a relatively late 24.8.

There's been just 1mm of rain over the last 9 days, and I see that tonight's rain keeps getting downgraded on the GFS... the raw MetO has none at all.

(28C upstairs, with the windows open all day, so a/c needed again this evening.)

Even worse here with less than 40% of monthly average and a week of dross remaining.

Today was the sunniest day but could only manage a pitiful 7.3 hours sun before the demoralising grey grot slammed in once more right on cue at 5pm to leave another dismal evening. 

Not only would this be the lowest ever total for the sunniest day of July but it would be lower than for any month between April and August. Can only find two other months were no day managed 50% of the possible sun and they were the two months with the lowest recorded monthly sun totals: December 1903 with 7 hours and January 1996 with 10 hours.

The grimness of 21st Century summers is truly unparallelled within modern history.

15.1c low 14.8c

1013.3mb falling

0.2mm

Warm given the conditions and time of day at 19.0c.

Our 4hrs of sun yesterday took the monthly total to 87hrs which is just over 50% of average with 6 days to go

You beat me again with the temperature even with that as today's highest temperature here in Hawick has been no higher than around 17°C which isn't even the least bit warm for this time of the year.🤢

I've been out and about for much of the time but haven't even seen any hints of brightness, let alone any actual sunshine and there has even been the odd spot of rain along with a cool wind.🤢

The South Coast  sharing your pain today; temp 18C with the odd deluge rather than the odd spot of rain.

Yes the rain was much further south and we just about missed it here, only had 0.6mm all day so far, but 18c is the same

It's currently 18.6, dew 17.4 (i.e. muggy), with a high of 21.6. Last night's low was a warm 15.4 and there's been 2.6mm of rain today.

Unfortunately for me, this one day interlude is as good as it gets!
