2nd August - Today's News: Pakistan Flood Death Toll Passes 1,100

Over the weekend the Pakistan flood death toll 'passes 1,100' and now Pakistan rescuers struggles in flood aftermath

Interesting to note that, aside from 2006, last month was my warmest July on record. Although there were no exceptionally high temperatures, maxima were consistently average or above average whilst, thanks in part to all the cloud, minima were well above average. Oh for a cool night and a bright, fresh, sunny morning! Still, autumn is on the way. It was also my driest July with only 38mm of rain - about 82% of the long term average for this area - and the first July in 4 years not to see totals exceed 100mm. However, July was wettest month of year for most of the UK - though not the SE which was even drier than here. And for N Ireland it was the dullest July on record.
