Default The wettest June on record, BBC


"Brian Blair" wrote in message
...
Headline news on the BBC 1 10 o'clock last night. "Its official it has
been the wettest June on record. " -

This has been widely reported in the press (no surprise) but I have not
heard any regional qualification. It wasn't up here or in many parts of
Scotland I would expect..


Makes you wonder perhaps about the accuracy of BBC 1's climate change
stuff?

Going by the England & Wales rainfall timeseries available from the Met
Office website it is the wettest June since 1914 which is as far back as the
records go. I assume this is some sort of spatial average so regional
records will no doubt differ from this.
