They talk about statistics that lie….We are currently at 42mm for August 38.2mm have fallen in the last 3 days.

Before then we had 5mm in 5 weeks.

Trying to get rain this month is like pulling teeth! 0.4mm overnight brings the monthly total to a whopping 3.4mm.

76.2mm here, and allowing for another mm or 2 before the day's end due to miserable spotty light showers, the month will dryer than average, though not by a whole lot. 

14mm yesterday in the form of mainly light but penetrating rain. 

17mm for the month

10.8mm yesterday, 54.2mm mtd.

Just over 20mm here for the month. Another below average month. 

The final total was 3.6mm here - including 0.2mm of dew trickling into the gauge yesterday. Can anyone on here beat that?

The summer of 2025 started off with a slightly wetter than average June in terms of the actual rainfall amounts, but which was still drier than average in terms of the number of rain days. It was a summer which became progressively drier over with August then being exceptionally dry. That in turn, led to the summer as a whole being quite substantially drier than average.

August's total here comes to 21mm, just 37% of our average.  Interestingly, we've now had five consecutive dry Augusts, and also five consecutive dry Junes!   Julys have been much more variable.

In terms of the Summer season, I recorded 147mm, making it a rather dry Summer (87% average).
