July Weather Report
July saw 125mm (5”) of rain fall on Ashburton. Although over 26mm of rain fell on St Swithin’s Day it remained fine for our Medieval Fayre and the Ale Tasting Ceremony. The year to date has been drier than average, 80% of average rainfall, mostly because of the three very dry months of April, May, and June. The rainfall records for the year to date show an odd repeating pattern of periods of rain, followed by dry spells - late January dry then a wet week; mid February dry then 2 weeks of rain followed by a long dry spell the first two weeks of March; then wet until the 3rd April which was nearly all dry; then wet from 29th April to 6th May; most of May was dry until 28th to 31st May when it rained; June was dry except for heavy rain on the 7th; 1st July was wet then dry till the 9th; wet till the 23rd; and then dry. It looks as though the weather systems have been swapping with each other, low-pressure Atlantic systems alternating with high-pressure systems allowing dry hot weather to establish. Let’s hope the trend continues and that we get a spell of hot dry weather in August!
