Coventry enjoys a position in the rain shadow of hills and mountains

relatively rare locally (35 in the past 30 years), so to have three in
succession in summer is most unusual.

From our records, it would appear that this has only happened once

before from November 1876 to January 1877.

This seems to be further evidence for the extreme nature of local
rainfall this year.

Personally I like Stoke which is very reminiscent of Abergele as far
as weather patterns are concerned.

This sunny spell we have had since (?)Saturday (I can't quite
remember) is probably due to the Cat 2 West Pacific cyclone.

I wonder how it affects other parts of Britain.
