JULY 2019

Fairly average temperatures for most of the month, but hot 22^nd to 26^th, peaking with 35.1C in the afternoon of 25^th.  This made the mean temperature of 18.2C the 9^th highest in 64 years.. The high max is a new July record, beating  2006/2015 and 2016.

Most of the month was dry, with only 21.1mm up to 29^th, then came rain with some  torrential downpours on 30^th, bringing the monthly total to 68.6mm. That single day ranks 11^th in 23376 days (64years) of records here.

There were thunderstorms from late on 23^rd into the early hours of 24^th, with just 3.4mm rain between 0130 and 0400. Temperatures on 23^rd had reached 32.3C.
Pressure showed rapid falls and rises, varying by over 2mb,  as these storms passed over.

Brightest days were 3^rd-5^th, 7^th, 15^th and 20^th-25^th. Dullest days were 6^th,19^th, 27^th-28^th. So statistically a warm and slightly wetter than usual, but this hides the detail.
