Just looking ahead a bit and quite honestly I cannot see much chance of
substantial rainfall this Spring. The pattern is still essentially blocked

with
high pressure predicted to remain close to UK for next couple of weeks

(after a
brief spell of rain/sleet/snow early this week) and at this time of year

zonal
flows are not exactly normal anyway. I fear that parts of England,

particularly
the SE, are going to have serious problems with water this year.

Blazing sun and 0.5 deg C on the Dartmoor tundra at 0900 26/2/05 :-)

Morning Will,

is also indicating below average rainfall is more likely.
