Default London tonight: "Wettest August since 1917"

"Philip Eden" wrote...
Anyone else notice the bizarre notion that this is already
London's wettest August since 1917, which underpinned
a feature on "London Tonight" tonight?

At Hampstead the month's total to date is 45mm ... still well
short of 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2002, 2001, 2000, etc,etc!



.... oh dear; still, mustn't let the facts get in the way of a good
story.

Martin.
