Macro detail of rain drops on garden yew plant

This year has seen the wettest April, the wettest June and the wettest April-to-June period on record in the UK!

Heavy rains have continued throughout July.

Forecasters say the cause has been the unusually southerly location of the jet stream, a high-altitude belt of wind; but it is expected to move northwards soon.

This should bring more normal summer weather - probably in time for the Olympics!
