This June the UK experienced the most rainfall since records began in 1914, according to the Met Office. With many parts of England left flooded after torrential downpours, July is unlikely to fare any better.
People also seem to be fooled by the rain into thinking they are not vulnerable to the sun, meaning UVA sunlotion sales have dropped, but sales of aftersun have increased.
The figures were compiled from UK branches of Lloydspharmacy.
