Hi Norman

After looking at the yearly rainfall amount (1971 - 2000) for many places
around England, it seems that July is generally the driest month with a very
bizarre but pronounced increase in rainfall for June, Greenwich is a typical
example:

Mar 42
Apr 45
May 47
Jun 53
Jul 38
Aug 47
Sep 57


Yes - A very different picture from the 1931-1960 averages. All this
really proves is that averages over a particular 30-year period are not
a reliable guide to what will happen over the following 30-year period.
