E&W Rain: 73.9mm ( 73% of 1971-2000 mean)
not quite as dry as Dec 2004

Am surprised, Dec 2005 seemed significantly drier than 2004 in the
south, and given how westerly Dec 2004 was I'd imagine it was even more
the case in the north. I guess the two short-lived lows at each end of
the month made it wetter?

I know the site isn't the easiest to navigate, but it would
take only a modicum of exploring to compare
