Default Dry and worrying outlook

Will,

Here in the far SW resevoir levels were lower last year.

Stithians is currently 80.3% full compared with 64.3% last year. Drift (near
Penzance) is full.

Also my 12 month running total is not particularly low. Currently (Feb
2005 - Jan 2006 ) 1026mm, not that far from normal, and much higher than the
751mm in 12 months ending July 1992.

A bitingly cold max of 6.8 today. (I await replies from northerners who
accuse me of being soft because they were brought up in a cardboard box on
the side of the A1 in temperatures approaching absolute zero after walking
home 298 miles after a 39 hour shift ...... But they were happy!)

Graham

All I can see in the outlook this morning is dry weather. Endless dry
weather
over most of the UK. Turning colder with time too.

Dust bowls in the SE this summer anyone?
I fear a very dry Spring is on the cards and then we are into peak
evaporation
season with potential water supply problems.

:-(

Will.
