Craig Snell, of the Met Office, said: “This time of year it’s not rare to have a prolonged dry spell. Go back to last year, when we had that unprecedented heatwave in July, parts of the south barely had a drop of rain for that entire month, parts of London only registered a millimetre of rain.
“That can happen when high pressure decides to settle itself across the UK, that keeps us dry, and that’s what we’ve seen for the last month or so. “A this point in the month, rainfall amounts should be about 20 per cent of the average and at the moment, most of us have hardly had a drop. So we are below par.”
Over the spring, there has been a sharp difference between the north and south of the UK, with Scotland experiencing below average rainfall and southern England above. Cloud and rain is expected over the weekend and the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms on Saturday across Wales, the West Midlands and parts of the south between Bath and London.Heavy showers and thunderstorms across Wales and parts of southern and central England
