This is just a general enquiry.

Are their any historical records kept on such matters?

I suppose for starters the summer of 1976 must have seen a High in
control for July August and up to about 6th September, when, if I
remember correctly, it retreated and we then had a very wet autumn.

And was it last year that we had a dominant High for a long autumn -
most of September,October
