29 today in Cambridge Boat 16 in Aberdeen. A day of contrasts in

what has been a summer of contrasts. But in July the contrasting

sunshine and rain for average out through the month, but a different

story with temperatures. It was colder than average and more at

night with some of the call a night-time conditions since 1980. I

bet some of you will be longing for that. A sticky night that there

were rumbles of thunder across parts of the East Midlands,

Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire but away from that, dry, misty, with

of us will stay dry at this stage and it is still warm enough in the

hazy sunshine and temperatures in the low twenties. A muddy end to

is all and into the low pressure system which will govern the

weather through Thursday. The reason the front is so active is

the fresh air. They are trying to pushing behind, squeezing out the

yellows, the hot and humid weather at the moment. Backlash is a

heaviest across southern England with a risk of minor flooding
