Although as pointed out elsewhere, the lack of rainfall for this
October is not particularly remarkable, taking the last three months
together (August, September & October so far), then the total rainfall
for Hurn (Bournemouth) is 93 mm, representing 43% of the 1971-2000
average.

So far in Penzance just 37% of the 1971-2000 normal Aug-Oct rainfall
has occured so far. (113mm compared to a norm of 300.6mm). Easily my
driest ever Aug-Oct period (records start 1991)

Resvoir levels are now falling steadily. Stithians - which supplies
most of west Cornwall (though not Penzance, which is supplied by the
much smaller Drift) is now 64% full compared with 67% last week. At
the end of July it was 90% full.
