Tough one to call at present, I'm going to risk a total bust by going for the rather unusual dry and cool combination - 15.1C and 32mm please.

Very low confidence this month as my methods basically conflict punting for 15.4C and 17.5C.

I shall pop in the middle and go for 16.5C but 110mm.

  August won't be a wall to wall heatwave but I predict regular warmer than average spells interspersed by the odd Low cooling. This will send August to a warm 18.5.C but the Lows will be thundery at times so will wring out 100mm.
