It is certainly dry in the SE, though not unprecedentedly so in
my records. My 12-month running total is 560 mm (annual mean 820) .
It has been lower than this 3 times before in the last 23 years, in
May 1997 (525 mm), July 1992 (540 mm) and September 1989 (555 mm).

But since the outlook does not look hopeful for precipitation, the
record 525mm could easily fall within a month or so, surely?
