Last summer saw 40 days of rain, but the Met Office expects this summer to be even worse, jeopardising popular summer events such as Wimbledon, Trooping of the Colour, Royal Ascot and many festivals including Glastonbury.

To count as a rainy day, there must be a minimum of 2.5mm of rain in a 24 hour period.
