Paul, no rain fell in parts of southern England during April 1912, 1893 and
1957. I think that one or two places in Cornwall had no rain during April
1976. There was very little rain in 1938 and 1980 was almost dry in north
west England.
This year April was my second driest month of any back to 1979 with only
2.8mm of rain -May 1989 had 2.1mm

And if so, how rare is that in Britain?
