Commentary
Rainfall for July was well above normal, with monitored sites recording between 148% and 222% of normal. The region experienced a number of bad weather systems from the north, which caused the Met Service to issue five rain warnings during the month. Met Service had issued only seven rain warnings for the first six months of the year. Of interest is that Inglewood was the wettest town for the month recording 467.5mm. Stratford was extremely close, recording 466.5mm of rain for July.
