In the last 3 weeks I've only recorded 6.1mm. It's been warm/very warm & often breezy. 

The landscape is now very brown, the dunes and cliffs are parched. WE missed much of the thundery rain a while back. We did have a thunderstorm, it dropped 1.8mm.

Marazion marsh this morning, right next to the usually boggy reed beds

I'm off to see Fisherman's Friends in Penlee Park tomorrow, a largely unadvertised 'locals' gig. Sadly the one day it's likely to rain, but once again, probably not much.

Same here Graham

The landscape has taken on a parched look over the last week. Only 4.2 mm of rain liberally scattered since the 13th June. The total for June was 45.0 mm, so slightly wetter than my eLTA but most of that fell in the first 12 days.

No rain forecast for here tomorrow and back to sunshine and building heat from Monday onwards.

This is turning out to be a lovely Summer following on from a lovely Spring.

Stayed basically dry and bright for Fisherman's Friends. A little light mizzle, not measurable.

There was 4.0mm during the evening and overnight (last night.) Surfy today. Sennen 15:00ish

4 mm Graham, just enough to damp the dust for you. 

I was hoping for some rain as the garden is bone dry and the apples may drop! The vines could do with a drop too. But alas, no rain has fallen and none is in the forecast.

A pleasant, breezy day with a nice freshness after all that humidity. A maximum of 22.0°C and dewpoints around 14°C. A cooler evening.
