From the Met Office 2007 weather summaries page for July:
Rainfall generally well above average, with England & Wales recording over double their average July rainfall, with some stations in the Worcestershire area recording over four times their average July rainfall. Sunshine well below average across the north-east of Scotland, but slightly above average across western areas of Scotland.
From today’s press release from the Internet Marketing Retail Group:
July saw a massive spike in online sales, up 80% on last year to a new all-time high. The IMRG Index burst above 4000 for the first time (4111), indicating that UK e-retail sales had exceeded ?4 billion in a month for the first time (?4.2bn). Sales for the month were ?1.86 billion higher than in July 2006.
When I was young, we always used to say that bad weather was ‘good for the farmers’. Clearly, that needs updating – nowadays, it’s good for the e-tailers.
