0.9mm here from a brief shower overnight 2nd/3rd. Much more dry weather this last 2 weeks than most of June/July, and looking much more settled this month.

Average for the month here is 61.8mm.

[Lightning Hunter]

Very different to the last two months in the first week of August here - largely dry and bright!

A light shower overnight on 5th/6th has increased my monthly total to 2.4mm, or just 17.1% of average for the first week of August!

[Dave K]

Makes a change for the first week of a summer month here in 2012 to be below average for rainfall! 6.8 mm or 69% of the normal to the 7th, but with 5 rain days out of 7 mostly in the form of showers and a couple of those nighttime only, so not so bad.

[Lightning Hunter]

Two weeks in and it continues very dry here for August. What a turn around!

To 1700 on the 14th I'm on 8.4mm, which is 30% of average to this date.

Agreed, another wet spell through first half of August. To the 19th we have had 98.2mm compared to the August monthly average of about 75mm. Maximum daily fall is 14.0mm (most of that in about 15 minutes). Dunkeswell average is similar whilst Liscombe on Exemoor is less. Mainly a month of short and sharp showers interspered with fog and drizzle!

[Lightning Hunter]

One wet day on the 15th (16.2mm) has increased my total to 26.9mm so far, equating to 70.2% of average to this date.

[BUTTERFLY]

Total of 40.2 mm so far in August at my place of work up to 19th, probably close to average; only 12.7 mm fell in the period from 1st to 14th August.

[Ian Williams]

St Germans SE Cornwall / 71.5 mm to the 20th which equates to 161.4% of average, only had 4 complete dry days and my wettest day with 13.0 mm occurred on the 16th nearby Saltash has had 90.0 mm and Plymouth 78.8 mm, so i am a tadge drier - makes me feel soooo much better
