Cloudy, breezy, warm and humid and - for the first time this month - something liquid has fallen out of the sky! Nothing exciting, though, just a minute or so of drizzle and not enough to properly dampen the ground, nor produce that "petrichor" smell. 

17.9, dew 15.5; the overnight low was 16.9 and yesterday's high was 30.4, the eighth 30+ day this year (compared with 4 in 1976!)

As for this morning, we’ve had some overnight rain but I don’t think it’s raining here just now and although the radar maps show some rain around just now, that is all looking very light and patchy.

The fact that there is some rain around is different from what we’ve been used to but apart from that, not much else has changed with the forecast suggesting that we might even see a few hints of brightness during the course of the day.

Today is forecast to be cooler than of late but whether or not it actually is remains to be seen as days have a habit these days of being warmer than they are forecast to be, especially when it’s forecast to be cooler.

Currently around 15°C here in Hawick which is already in line with other recent days at this same time.

One of those muggy and windy days, the overnight low was 17c and it's now 21.7c, the run was a sweaty one, yum!

Watched the one blob of rain coming nicely towards us on the radar, places getting 1mm and then it got less and less until it wasn't. Nothing showing as coming this way or on the models so looks like that'll be July completely dry.

We have rain here,  first this month I think. Not much just enough to dampen the ground.

The smell of Petrichor is intense.

We seem to have been a sweet spot for rain, as we've had light rain on and off since around 9pm.

We have actual puddles! 

Should leave everything refreshed.

The sun is breaking through and the shed roof and pavements are steaming after the rain!

Up to 15 C but feeling more humid, I think we could see a few hefty showers in the east of Scotland later

A wonderful 6.6mm of light, insistent 'wet you right through' drizzle on and off since 11ish last night. You can hear the plants and trees singing.

Perfect for ducks 🪿

Sadly not here. A few minutes fine drizzle and the wait for rain at least more than an immeasurable trace continues. Some will be pleased.

A lovely day. A brief 10 minute light shower this morning which just about wet the ground and my hair - it was that fine soaking rain. Not measurable though and not enough to run from gutters. Nevertheless it did produce that wonderful smell of damp vegetation that Darren alluded to earlier. I must have had 0.1mm more than Darren! It seems impossible for it to be cool here. Up to 24.9C now so only a brief respite from the heat of recent days.

Well, the cold front's through now and no rain from it - just a 2C temperature drop for a few minutes. 25.1 now (with a breeze), dew 17.6 and, of course, the sun's out again. A completely rainless month (as far as the gauge is concerned) is now IMO nailed-on.
