Default Drought breaking - Sweepstake

First we need a definition - how about a fall of 0.5" (12.7mm) in a day
for the dry parts of southern England?

I'll start the ball rolling, and say Oct 28th.

It's all right for you. This month, so far, we've had 43.2mm.

It is causing damage to the environment.

That's an interesting point.

Is it possible for the environment to cause damage to the environment.

;-)


Well said. I was going to post the same comment myself. It IS the
environment. All a bit philosophical, I suppose.
As to the sweepstake, the definitions are too slack. I know what's being
said, but it's just as well money isn't involved. :-)

No, not good enough. I got 22mm in one day (22 Sep) but nothing worthwile up
to late July before or up to now.

We need several days of rain in a row surely. Or just a month with 50mm?
