We had 12mm of rain in July (under half an inch), our average being 71mm (just under three inches). Every month this year so far has had below-average rainfall. I haven't totted up my numbers yet, but the average maximum temperature for July was well over 3C above the average. We had three days above 30C, which is a vanishingly rare event here, including our record-destroying 36C on the 18th. I can't record sunshine hours but I give each day a score out of five, five being a day with almost, or completely, unbroken sunshine. I have still to total up those numbers too, but it's been a pretty sunny month. The month fizzled out with two days of murk, drizzle and mugginess. Sun's out again today!
