Bracknell (Tawfield)
to 18Z today (Thursday)

024.3mm [37% of eLTA 1971-2000]

Last year (2005), January 26.6mm, followed by February 22.3mm.

In 2000 (which was to turn out to be a wet year overall), we only had
17.7mm that January.

How is it looking in the dry Sussex and to the east?

Anyone in Yorkshire got any rainfall figures. I only remember one day
with any real rain rather than a little drizzle and that lasted
minutes
as a squall went through. It seems even dryer than January 2005. This
is worrying as at the start of the month Howden and Derwent and even
Ladybower Resivours were nowhere near the levels you would expect at
this time of year.
