Drenching forecast to continue for another month.
With 151mm of rain, June was England and Wales’ wettest ever. Now forecasters say July is also on course to be the soggiest since records began in 1910.
Up to 30mm of rain – half-a-month’s worth – is forecast for Saturday in just two or three hours in the Midlands, East and South.
The deluges will fall on top of up to 60mm – a month’s worth – which was expected to fall on Friday.
Average rainfall for the entire month of July is 58mm.
Temperatures – at near-record low 10C days and 1.5C nights this week – will be 6C below average at just 17C in the South today and 12C in northern Scotland.
As of now, the wettest July on record is 142mm, set in 2009. Weather Channel forecaster Leon Brown said: “July will be one of – or the – wettest Julys.
“The month’s usual rainfall has fallen already and above-average rainfall will continue into August.”

The truth are called “conspiracy theory” in this time of “modern enlightenment”. Everyday, we hear the hissing snake in radio, TV and in the entertainment industry.
By the Grace of God we might get a break in the rain especially for the Olympics, but I would not lay any bets on it. The world will see our British weather in all its wonderful grey cold wetness. All this rain and cold is proving out to be too much for many of our British wildlife species and plants. I myself have a ripper headache from it. However what is coming this winter will perhaps knock out everything, turning our British Isles into something more like be Iceland or Svalbard or as be parts of the northern Canada ? Just barren rock perma frosted for most of the year ? Eventually to be buried under mountains of ice ?
This means the likelihood that there will be net year to year carry over affecting an expanded area of Norway versus the typical year. That would mean that the Norwegian remnant of the Continental NH ice mass will grow. A similar behavior is seen with the Cordilleran core. The cores which remain in Marine West coast high elevations and poleward from them in the Marine Subarctic areas are very sensitive to small degrees of cold anomalies. This is due to the fact that the ice masses in such climate zones are innately high accumulation due to the extremely high precipitation levels. The precip is way higher than in places like Greenland or Elsmere Island. More study is needed of these cores located near the west coasts of continents. Growth of such cores could constitute trigger to end the interglacial due to their locations at the leading edge of global circulation as it impinges on the mid to high latitudes.
