Default rainfall shortage - continued!

The first 10 days of July have produced 7.1mm of rain here (presuming there
will be none today) which is 31% of the 1971 - 2000 average for this period.
The year's total now stands at 192mm which is 61% of the average and
since the beginning of May only 42.6 mm has been measured - this is 37% of
normal.
Looking at the charts for this week doesn't give me much hope that the dry
weather will end soon.

Similar in Warlingham, with 225 mm this year, only 57% of
normal. Also, Nov & Dec 2004 were dry. 12.2 mm this month and not a
lot to come in the next week.
