Temperatures
Many parts of the UK broke all temperature records in July, even reaching more than 40°C in Lincolnshire. We measured a maximum of 37°C on the 19th with a hot wind which was especially trying.
Rainfall
Total rainfall only 7.5 mm. This is not a record, but taken with relatively low rainfalls over the previous 5 months, means that there could be a shortage of water.
