Interesting how yet again the heavy rainfall heading directly towards
S.Essex as a solid thick band decided on the 18.30 radar to form a large
hole around us and then move North leaving only a light shower so far. This
has happened a lot lately and also to parts of Kent. No wonder the ground is
so dry. I think Sunday's rain will make it though as I am making the cricket
teas as well as playing. Usually does the trick1

But this is South Essex, as I understand it the driest part of the country.
Isn't the ground pretty bone dry for most of the time in spring/summer, anyway?
