Still hasn't rained here - deffo 1 month plus now. Cars are all dusty and grass verges starting to die off. On the plus side, at least there isn't much grass to cut.

Scattered light rain cannot be ruled out, especially early on.
Much like today.

The current pattern remains broadly similar. Jet stream far to our north, high pressure to our NW, so broadly speaking fine, but it will be a wind from the E/NE, so cloudy starts to the day before improving and not hot.

Perfect then, thanks!Scattered light rain cannot be ruled out, especially early on.

Christ almighty that's bad!!
Whilst not strictly weather related but certainly correlative to the ghastly climate, has anyone noticed how voracious and angry the mosquitoes are?
Round here (Worcestershire) the area is swarming with them, they're also ravenously hungry and the bites itch more, hurt more and one has just done me on the back of the knee and it felt like a wasp.
They're also active all day and night. Not just dawn and dusk. Went down to the compost heap this afternoon and the infestation was biblical. Voracious ravenous swarms enveloped my person; all that was missing was a decent oompah band and I'd have the full on Bavarian thigh-slapping dance down to a tee.

Yes - the mozzies and midges up here Rochdale/Rossendale are as bad as I can remember. Even though it’s boiling hot in the evenings you can’t sit out. Whilst not strictly weather related but certainly correlative to the ghastly climate, has anyone noticed how voracious and angry the mosquitoes are?

It’s actually rained for about an hour this evening for the first time in weeks - I can’t actually remember when it last rained. It’s already dried out. It’s great!
