What was the weather like for you in August and September 2004?

SEPT. 6 15 11 = x
SEPT. 14 14 29 = x
SEPT. 21 15 54 = wet
SEPT. 28 13 09 = wet


All the above were in reference to the weather in the UK of course. I
have no idea what they would have been like in reality.


Date - Pressure - Precip. mm

16th - 1002f - 0.0
23rd - 1017f - 0.25
30th - 1005r - 1.0
06th - 1038r - 0.0
14th - 988r - 6.0
21st - 1002r - 0.25
28th - 1015r - 3.0

Of those, Sep. 14 could reasonably be described as wet.


Thanks.

That shows up another annoyance concerning statistics. An observer
might be put off by anomalies thrown up by their station. Look how what
should have been a dry spell brought relief to the SE recently. (MAY
5th 05:13. IIRC, it rained through and although there was talk of
hosepipe bans, one water company backed off at the last moment.)

By the way it isn't just the weather for the day of the phase but for
the whole spell ushered in by it, that I was describing as wet or
whatever. Can you remember what the situation was like for the country
as an whole?
