August is on track to be another dry month, with England only seeing 35% of the average rainfall so far.
Even after torrential downpours in some places last week, which saw some areas suffer from flash flooding, the UK as a whole has had only 46% of the average total rainfall, the Met Office said.
For Wales it is 34% and 39% for Northern Ireland, but Bedfordshire has had only 13% of its average so far, recording just 7.7mm this month.
