Thunderstorms used to be common here in the Summer. Very rare now.


I was walking into Canterbury along the river and noted that there's so
little water flowing that you would be mistaken for thinking that it's
the middle of August. The mill race near Pound Lane is dry and there was
only a trickle of water over the weir. Ducks are again unable to swim
some parts of the river!

(BTW. only 28.4mm here so far this month and 460.0mm for the whole of 2005.)
