Weather Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

July 2026 was a cool and unsettled midsummer month. The mean temperature for the month was 17.2 \u00b0C, which is roughly 1.1 \u00b0C below the July average of 18.3 \u00b0C for the reference period 2004\u20132025. In the 23-year comparison, July 2026 ranks among the cooler third of Julys \u2014 clearly warmer than the coolest Julys of 2015 and 2017 (around 16.2 \u00b0C), but far from warm Julys such as 2018 (21.5 \u00b0C) or 2010 (21.1 \u00b0C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The month’s highest temperature, 27.3 \u00b0C, was recorded on the afternoon of 16 July. Only six days reached the 25 \u00b0C heat threshold, so genuine hot spells remained short and modest; the reading falls well short of the station’s July record of 34.4 \u00b0C (2018 and 2019). The lowest temperature of the month, 10.7 \u00b0C, was measured in the early hours of 7 July \u2014 almost exactly the typical July minimum for the reference period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean relative humidity was 82 %, notably above the July average of 77 % and among the highest July values in the dataset, consistent with the month’s rainy and overcast character. Mean air pressure was 1009.6 hPa, essentially at the long-term July level (1009.5 hPa), though the month saw considerable variation, with pressure ranging from 993.9 hPa to 1022.5 hPa as low-pressure systems repeatedly crossed the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winds remained gentle throughout the month. The average wind speed was 2.4 m\/s, matching the typical July level, and the strongest gust of the month, 13.4 m\/s from the west-northwest (WNW), was recorded on 6 July. This is a modest peak by July standards \u2014 the reference-period Julys average a maximum gust of about 15.8 m\/s, and July 2025 produced a 22.4 m\/s gust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rainfall Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Total rainfall in July 2026 was 77.6 mm, which is 145 % of the 2004\u20132025 July average of 53.4 mm. This makes July 2026 the sixth-wettest July in the 2004\u20132026 record, behind only 2007 (125.6 mm), 2004 (95.3 mm), 2015 (84.8 mm), 2009 (83.5 mm) and 2012 (81.1 mm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rain fell frequently: 16 days recorded at least 0.2 mm of precipitation, meaning more than every second day was a rain day. The accumulation was nevertheless strongly skewed \u2014 the heaviest daily total, 32.6 mm on 18 July, alone accounted for over 40 % of the monthly sum. The final days of the month stayed unsettled as well, with 22.4 mm falling between 26 and 31 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wet July continues a pattern in which recent Julys (2025: 68.4 mm, 2023: 58.2 mm) have tended toward the rainy side of the distribution, in contrast to dry Julys such as 2017 (12.1 mm), 2010 (14.5 mm) and 2006 (14.7 mm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall Assessment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

July 2026 will be remembered as a cool, damp and grey midsummer month. The mean temperature fell about a degree short of the long-term average, heat days were few, humidity ran clearly above normal, and rainfall reached 145 % of the historical average, placing the month among the six wettest Julys in the station’s record. Wind conditions, by contrast, were calm even by July standards. In character, the month resembled the cool, rain-dominated Julys of 2004 and 2012, though somewhat milder in degree \u2014 a summer month shaped more by passing low-pressure systems than by high-pressure warmth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
