As well as the prolonged heat, this summer has also been exceptionally dry for many places. <\/p>\n
Rainfall patterns have varied considerably across the UK, but the driest regions have been eastern and north-eastern parts of England which have received only around half their expected rainfall by this stage of the summer. <\/p>\n
Wisley in Surrey has now experienced 31 dry days, and for a large area of central England, it has been the longest dry<\/a> spell in 30 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n With high pressure set to dominate the weather over the next week, there will be very little rainfall if any in many places. <\/p>\n The wettest places are likely to be in north-west Scotland, where frontal systems may bring up to 30mm (1.18in) of rain through the week. <\/p>\n There could also be a few showers elsewhere, mainly close to coasts, but it is likely many inland areas could have at least five more completely dry days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As well as the prolonged heat, this summer has also been exceptionally dry for many places.
