It's the same old British Summer crap. British Airways succeeed in scaring people away from airports early in the year, so families decide: right this year we're going to take our holidays in the UK, then we get a shit July and there's a mad rush to flee the country in August. Bunch of weather arse.

I hope it isn't a repeat of last summer, we had rain, flooding and no running water...please, no!
Signs are not looking good for the rest of summer.
The jet stream (a ribbon of very high winds several miles above us, and which steers areas of low pressure - cloud, wind and rain - across the Atlantic) usually moves north in the summer. However, like last summer, it has got stuck right over us, so all the crap weather which would normally be steered away towards Iceland over summer, is once again heading straight for us.
Bloody depressing, I know, and it means that the rest of July and August don't look very promising, weather-wise.

the weather girl last night said it was unseasonable rainy weather. but just about every other year it rains on Wimbledon, so it doesnt seem so unusual to me.

Ask Insider he might know.
1500mm average per year, spread evenly across the year (Source: NZ tourism site)
500mm average per year in SE England (Source: Met Office)
You might try the Sudan......
World's Lowest Rainfall Average - 3mm average per year Wadt Halfa, Sudan
If you like the rain, then you might like the place with the World's Highest Annual Rainfall average, take a bow Cherrapunji, in northeastern India with 10,922 mm (about 430 in) per year.
The record daily rainfall by the way appears to be 49 inches, also in Northern India.

Hope it's ok at the end of July as we're going camping. 
Same here, spilling into August too. North Devon
We went last year about the same time, the first night was horrible but exciting.
After that it was lovely weather but the ground was sopping wet for days.
Didn't matter on the beach though
Turned out to be one of the nicer British holiday weeks where I was.
