That is the problem with ststistics,it does not give a true picture.Me as a Farmer sees it a bit different.It hasnt been very wet or cold but it has been consistantly unsettled without any meaningful dry,sunny spells in the whole of July and August.Here in the Pennines we managed to make a little hay at the very end of June but had to wait until September 5th to do the rest.Never in my memory from the early 70's has that happened,no hay in July and August,not even the dreadful 2008 and 2012 could do that!
